What is a VGX file?

VGX files mostly belong to OriginLab Origin. VGX files are not a single type of file; they come in several forms.
  • Graph Data Files: Many VGX files use the Microsoft Compound format. In these cases, they act as containers for graph data. They are often created by OriginLab Origin and may be referred to as OriginLab Graph Files or Veeco data files.
  • Scene Files: Some VGX files are stored as a ZIP archive. This type holds scene information and is used by applications such as VizExe. In some situations these files are also known as Vectorworks design file formats.
  • Vector Graphics Files: A smaller group of VGX files contains vector graphics data. These files are linked with products like Vega Strike and sometimes compared to Visio files. For more on this usage, see this webpage.
  • FilExt.com note: You can decide which application to use by checking the file’s inner structure (for example, looking for compound file signatures or ZIP headers). Always open the file with software that corresponds to its actual format.

    How to open a VGX file

    You need a suitable software like OriginLab Origin to open a VGX file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your VGX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VGX file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
