About VIS files
The .vis file extension represents three distinct formats that users often need to convert.
- Visionaire Studio Game Data: The most common use (approx. 54%) is a binary game archive created by Visionaire Studio, the engine behind point-and-click adventures like Deponia. These files bundle game assets (images, audio, logic) into a compressed, non-human-readable format. Users typically try to convert these to extract sprites (PNG) or soundtracks (WAV), but because the format is proprietary and compiled, standard converters fail. You generally need the Visionaire Studio editor or specialized unpacking tools to access the content.
- STR Vision Estimate: Created by TeamSystem (formerly STR), these files contain construction cost estimates and project management data (CPM). Professionals frequently need to convert these proprietary .vis files to Excel (.XLSX) or PDF to share bids with clients who do not own the licensed STR Vision software.
- Visily Wireframe Export: A newer format used by Visily AI to transfer UI designs. These .vis files are specifically designed to be imported into Figma via a plugin, allowing designers to move mockups from Visily's AI tool into a production environment.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VIS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VISUALIZA, VSI, PDF, PNG, JPG, ZIP, CY, VNS, RPA and RVR files.
The VIS Converter Story
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 VIS converter.
