Step 1: Double-Click the File
Before you try any other ways to open VEC files, start by double-clicking the file icon. The file should open automatically. If it doesn’t open, or you see an error message, move on to Step 2.
Step 2: Choose the Right Program
There are many different programs you can use to open VEC files. If the file doesn’t open when you double-click it, you may not have one of these programs on your computer. Try installing the most common programs associated with VEC files, like Unknown Apple II File, DaVis Graphic, or Pictures by PC Drawing File. If none of these programs work, move to Step 3.
Step 3: Figure Out the File Type
The file type can give you a clue as to which programs can open your VEC file. Files with the VEC extension are usually Uncommon Files. If you’re not sure what the file type is, follow the steps below to find it:
Using Windows:
- Right-click the file’s icon
- Click “Properties”
- Find the file type listed under “Type of File”
Using a Mac:
- Right-click the file’s icon
- Click “More Info”
- Find the file type listed under “Kind”
Once you know the file type, you can use this information do some searching for other possible programs that utilize file extension VEC or that open Uncommon Files. If this still doesn't help, move to Step 4.
Step 4: Check with the Software Developer
The most common programs associated with VEC files are all created by different software developers. These developers can help you if you’re having trouble opening your VEC file. Find your program in the left column of the table below and contact the developer listed in the right column.

Step 5: Download a Universal File Viewer
If you have completed Steps 1 through 4 and you still can’t open your VEC file, it’s time to try a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download).

Note: If your VEC file isn’t compatible with a universal file viewer, it will open in binary format.
