What is a .SAV file?
SAV is an IBM SPSS statistics data file, used in social-science research.
- Did you know
- SPSS has been a staple of social-science statistics since the late 1960s.
- SPSS originally stood for Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, first released in 1968.
- SPSS passed to IBM in 2009, and the product is now officially called IBM SPSS Statistics.
- What Analyser reads
- Open scientific, medical and engineering files: DICOM scans, NIfTI brain volumes, Garmin FIT/TCX activities, FITS astronomy frames, FASTA/FASTQ sequences, chemistry structures (MOL/SDF/MOL2/CIF/XYZ), Gerber/Excellon PCB data, SPICE netlists, EDF/BDF biosignals, JCAMP-DX spectra, SPSS/Stata/SAS datasets and VTK/ParaView meshes - metadata extracted entirely in-browser.
- Depth of analysis
- .SAV 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 .SAV file
- Drag a .SAV 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.
