What is the VTK file format?
A file with the .VTK extension is a file known as Visualization Toolkit Legacy. This format is associated with Kitware, Inc..
The reliable way to open a .VTK file is with software that recognises this exact format, rather than guessing from the file name. If you are not sure what created a file, our file identifier can read its first bytes and name the real format, even when the file has been renamed.
We are still gathering the list of programs that open .VTK files. A fully verified, hand-written description of this format is being prepared; until then, the details on this page are drawn directly from our database.
