The .PVS file extension is utilized by the Parallels Desktop virtualization software. It is used to store configuration data related to virtual machines being emulated by Parallels. The .PVS file contains the connections between the physical and virtual devices, as well as metadata regarding a particular emulated operating system and its environment.
A .PVS file is a virtual disk image, created and maintained by Parallels Desktop. It can contain a copy of a physical disk of an existing operating system, or it can include a completely different operating system instance, including its environment and user applications. All the information needed to describe the virtual machine and its environment is stored within this file format.
Uses
The main purpose of the .PVS file extension is emulation. It enables applications running on one platform to run on another without having to worry about hardware or OS compatibility issues. With modern hardware, an external .PVS file can enable multiple operating systems running simultaneously on a single physical computer.
Similar File Extensions
Other related files include .VMC, .VMV, .VMX, and .XVA. These files are all specifically related to virtual machines.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PVS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PVS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PVS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PVS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PVS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PVS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PVS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PVS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PVS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PVS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
