.YUV File

File extension yuv is used for YUV 16Bits bitmap image format (Abekas YUV SECAM or PAL file CCIR 601 1:1:1 file).

A .yuv file stores data in 16 bit Interleaved, YUV 4:1:1, YUV 4:2:2, YUV 4:4:4.

This yuv file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.

This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.

Files with yuv suffix are typically found as some some older 16bit bitmap images. Still viewable with XnView.

How to open:

Use XnView, ImageMagick or IrfanView to view .yuv files.

How to convert:

Most raster graphics formats can be converted betweend different formats, and .yuv files seems to be no exception in this.
