YUV file extension - YUV 16Bits image format

What is yuv file? How to open yuv files?

File type specification:

Bitmap image file type icon Bitmap image file type

yuv file icon: yuv filetype icon

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.
