What is an ALV file?

ALV files mostly belong to Adobe Photoshop. ALV files are used in specific software applications to hold structured data. In some cases they act as an Adobe Photoshop Levels File, storing tonal adjustments and image configuration details. In other instances they are known as Audio Log Voice files or SAP List Viewer files that contain formatted log or report data.
This dual use means the file you have will open only with the correct program. For a file with image adjustments, the original editing software (such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom Classic) will be required. For the list viewer version, a SAP environment or its compatible viewer is needed.

Use the originating software to open the file.

If it is an image adjustment file, it holds parameters rather than the image itself.

If it is a list file, it displays structured report data.

How can I open an ALV file?

You need a suitable software like Adobe Photoshop to open an ALV 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 ALV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ALV file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
