What is an XV file

XV files mostly belong to XLV Player. XV files are used for different purposes. The main type is a video streaming format used as a Pando Media Booster data file with the XLV Player for playback.
In other cases, the same extension is used in a way similar to a PPM image file format. This variant stores raster graphics and can be described as either a Portable Bitmap Image File or a Visualization Image File Format.
  • If your file is video, a dedicated player such as XLV Player is recommended.
  • If it is an image, consider using a viewer that handles PPM-type files.
