What is OVF file?

The OVF file extension is associated with Open Virtualization Format (OVF). OVF is a platform-independent, efficient, secure and extensible format for packaging and distributing virtual appliances across different virtualization software solutions.

OVA files are widely used by desktop virtualization software such as VMWare or Oracle VirtualBox, and their cloud counterparts Amazon EC2, Google GCE and Microsoft Azure.

How to convert the file from OVF to OVA?

To successfully convert the OVF file to OVA, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.OVF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case OVA (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than OVA).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. OVF to OVA. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting OVF files to OVA files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension OVA, while before this step we had the OVF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new OVA file, or not.

How can the file conversion help me?

The OVF file conversion is useful in many situations. It often happens that you need to send someone a file (e.g. a graphic file) in a specific format, other than the one the selected file is currently encoded. In such a case, you should check whether it is possible to convert it (e.g. z OVF to OVA), and if the conversion is possible - download the appropriate software.
