Extract text from VPS files
To convert your VPS file to another format, you need CA eTrust Antivirus or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "Antivirus & Prepress Data" file type, you need software like CA eTrust Antivirus or a similar tool.
The .vps extension represents a collision of several distinct proprietary formats, creating significant confusion for users. In the majority of cases (approx. 38%), a .vps file is a locked system file used by antivirus software like Kaspersky or CA eTrust to store virus signatures or quarantined malware. These files are intentionally inaccessible to prevent accidental execution and cannot be converted to readable documents. Opening them forces a raw binary view that is useless to humans.
However, in professional design and engineering workflows, a .vps file is a valid content asset. It may be a Vero VISI view setting file (saved in XML format) used to store 3D model configurations, or a legacy Scitex prepress file used for color separation in high-end printing. Users often struggle to open these because they are unsupported by standard viewers like Microsoft Photos or standard text editors.

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 VPS converter.
