OVITO can export data to the following file formats:
| Format name | Description | Data type(s) |
|---|---|---|
| LAMMPS dump | Text-based file format produced and read by the LAMMPS molecular dynamics code. | particles |
| LAMMPS data | File format read by the LAMMPS molecular dynamics code. | particles, bonds, angles, dihedrals, impropers |
| XYZ | A simple column-based text format, which is documented here and here. | particles |
| POSCAR | File format used by the ab initio simulation package VASP. | particles |
| IMD | File format used by the molecular dynamics code IMD. | particles |
| FHI-aims | File format used by the ab initio simulation package FHI-aims. | particles |
| NetCDF | Binary format for molecular dynamics data following the AMBER format convention. | particles |
| GSD/HOOMD | Binary format for molecular dynamics data used by the HOOMD-blue code. See GSD (General Simulation Data) format. | particles, bonds, global attributes |
| Table of values | A simple tabular text file with scalar quantities computed by OVITO's data pipeline. | global attributes |
| VTK | Generic text-based data format used by the ParaView software. | surface meshes, voxel grids, dislocations |
