About VRL files

A .VRL file is most likely a Vemco Receiver Log, a proprietary binary data format created by Innovasea (formerly Vemco) acoustic receivers used in marine biology to track aquatic animals. These files contain raw detection data, sensor metrics, and receiver health logs that are unreadable by standard spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel. To analyze this telemetry data, researchers must convert the .VRL file into a CSV (Comma Separated Values) format using the specific Innovasea VUE software or the glatos R package.

Less commonly, a .VRL file may be a legacy Virtual Reality Modeling Language world file (standard extension WRL). These outdated 3D scenes are not supported by modern web browsers. To view or edit these 3D assets, they should be converted to modern interchange formats like GLB, OBJ, or STL using tools like Blender or CadExchanger.

Convert.Guru analyzes your VRL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted WRL, PNG, GEO, TCW and 3DV files.

The VRL 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 VRL converter.
