What is a VG file?

VG files mostly belong to VGEditor. VG files use an XML based structure to store vector graphic information. These files hold data for images drawn with geometric shapes, paths, and curves, which means they can be scaled without losing quality.
Useful details include:

  • XML Structure: The file content is organized in XML, making it both human-readable and editable in simple text editors.
  • Vector Graphics: It stores data for shapes and lines, favoring clear scaling and precision over pixel-based images.
  • Editing Software: They are primarily used in software like VGEditor from VisualGraphics Designer. You can learn more at VGEditor.

FilExt.com tip: These files are ideal for users needing to maintain image clarity at any size, and for those working with designs that may require modifications directly in the code.

How to open a VG file

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