How to open TVG file?

The main problem with Toon Boom Vector Graphics is that the TVG file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TVG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TVG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Toon Boom Studio

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Toon Boom Studio is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Toon Boom Studio in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TVG files.

Programs to open TVG file

Remember to download programs supporting TVG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Toon Boom Studio with TVG files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TVG file to open in the Toon Boom Studio application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TVG file with the Toon Boom Studio application.

Step 3. Update Toon Boom Studio to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Toon Boom Studio program with the Toon Boom Vector Graphics file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Toon Boom Animation Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TVG file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The TVG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TVG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TVG file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TVG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TVG files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TVG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Toon Boom Animation Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TVG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TVG to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TVG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TVG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
