Convert VIC files online for free
The converter easily converts your VIC file to various formats - free and online. No Photoshop or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Cad formats to VIC with high quality output.
Users typically encounter the .VIC extension in two distinct "digital archaeology" scenarios. The most common source is SoftSource Vdraft, a legacy CAD application from the late 1990s designed to edit AutoCAD files. In this context, the file is a proprietary Vdraft Image Cache or vector container used to speed up rendering. These files are functionally obsolete; they often cannot be opened without the original discontinued software, making them "dead data" unless converted. The proprietary lock-in is significant, and users often need to recover the vector data into a standard DXF or DWG format for modern engineering use, or PDF for archiving.
The second common variety is the VICAR (Video Image Communication and Retrieval) format, a planetary image standard developed by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Unlike the CAD variant, these are scientific raster data files often containing headers describing space missions. While not supported by standard viewers like Windows Photos or web browsers, they are critical for scientific analysis. For these, the best conversion path is to TIFF or PNG for visualization, or FITS for astronomical data processing. A third, rarer use case involves Yamaha PSR-series keyboards, where the file stores custom voice settings, usable only by reloading onto the specific hardware.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your VIC file.
Users also converted PNG, MOV, JPG, BAK, PLT and DWL2 files.
If you want to convert VIC file to CUR, you can use Vdraft or similar software from the "CAD Image Cache" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW or AI files to VIC, try Vdraft or another comparable tool in the "CAD Image Cache" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our VIC converter.
