About VLD files
A .vld file most commonly represents a Vemco Minilog data file, generated by oceanographic data loggers to record temperature, depth, and environmental metrics. These binary files are proprietary, meaning you cannot open them in Excel or Notepad directly; they require the specific LoggerVUE software to interpret the raw sensor streams. Users often need to convert these into CSV or XLSX formats to analyze the data in Microsoft Excel or R.
Alternatively, in industrial settings, a .vld file may be a 3D measurement file created by Keyence VL-Series 3D Scanner CMMs. These files store high-precision metrology data used for quality control. Engineers frequently need to convert these proprietary scans into standard CAD formats like STEP, IGES, or STL for reverse engineering in software like SolidWorks or AutoCAD.
Less frequently, this extension is associated with legacy Adobe Photoshop video layer data or Spb Mobile Shell weather cache files, though these uses are largely obsolete.

The VLD 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 VLD converter.
