What is a .ACV file?
ACV stores a Photoshop Curves adjustment. Created and opened by Adobe Photoshop.
- Did you know
- Photoshop has let users save and load adjustment presets like this since the 1990s.
- An ACV preset stores the master tone curve plus separate curves for the red, green and blue channels.
- Each curve is just a set of control points reshaping the 0-to-255 input range, which is why presets can be shared between Photoshop installs.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify Adobe project files and read their metadata: Photoshop (PSD, PSB), Illustrator (AI), InDesign (INDD), After Effects (AEP, AEPX, AET) with composition / layer / effect and asset extraction, Premiere Pro and Elements (PRPROJ, PREL) with sequence and media counts, XD, Animate (FLA), and Lightroom.
- Depth of analysis
- .ACV is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .ACV file
- Drag a .ACV file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
