About VRD files
The .VRD extension serves three distinct, unrelated purposes, creating significant confusion for users.
- Viscom PCB Inspection Data: Most commonly, this is a proprietary log generated by Viscom Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems. It contains crucial pass/fail data and statistical coordinates from circuit board manufacturing. The main constraint is that these files are locked to the industrial machine's environment. Engineers often need to convert this raw data into CSV or XLSX to analyze defect rates in Microsoft Excel without needing access to the factory floor software.
- Microsoft Visio Report Definition: This is an XML-based file used by Microsoft Visio. It defines the structure of a report (which properties to include), not the diagram itself. Users often mistakenly try to open this as a drawing. To view the logic, convert the XML text to PDF or view it in a text editor.
- Canon Edit Recipe: Used by Canon Digital Photo Professional, this file contains metadata (edits, crop, white balance) but no actual image data. A common friction point is users trying to convert a 10KB .VRD file to JPG, which is impossible. You must apply the VRD to the original CR2 or CR3 raw file to export a viewable image.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VRD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted JPG, BP, WCD and BPD files.
The VRD 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 VRD converter.
