What is a WVS file?

WVS files mostly belong to KUKA WorkVisual. WVS files are specialized data files produced by different applications, each with a distinct purpose.
KUKA WorkVisual Usage:

Purpose: They serve as robot project files storing motion paths, configuration settings, and task parameters used for industrial robots.

Functionality: They are loaded into KUKA controllers via the WorkVisual software to manage and execute programmed operations.

Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner Use:

Purpose: In this context, a WVS file is a scan report that details web vulnerability findings.

Details: The file often uses an internal zlib compression format to efficiently store the security scan data.

Waveform Data Applications:

Purpose: Some WVS files are used to record water vapor spectrum data or digital audio waveforms.

Functionality: These files, created by brands like WaveMetrics or Waves Audio Plugins, are used for signal analysis or audio processing, including in game audio contexts.

Opening and Viewing:

For robotics project files, use KUKA WorkVisual (KUKA website).

For vulnerability reports, use the Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner (Acunetix website).

For waveform or audio files, open them with compatible audio analysis or editing software (Waves website).

FilExt.com note: These files are often proprietary. Using the dedicated software is the best way to avoid errors or data loss.

How to open WVS files

WVS file extension format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. In the following you will find our evaluation of the WVS files:

The WVS file extension is not common and is used by different programs with different formats. The file formats most commonly found in WVS files are:

35% of all WVS files start with the magic bytes 00 00 00 00, which are always the first bytes of this file format. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. WVS files are between 2 MB and 5 MB in size. It is a modern file type. The following filename is common: BaseProject.wvs. Files like these have the following tags: robot.
35% of all WVS files internally utilize the zlib file format. Zlib is a compressed archive file format that supports several different data compression algorithms. zlib is also a crucial component of many software platforms, including Linux, macOS, and iOS. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The file size is in the range of 6 KB to 15 MB.

All other WVS files (30%) have no uniform format. Sometimes used for waves or scan. Just click the "Choose your .wvs file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your WVS file is.

How to solve problems with WVS files

Associate the WVS file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest WVS file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available KUKA WorkVisual update.
To make sure that your WVS file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
