How Do I Convert VMware Workstation Player to OVF?

Published in Virtualization 1 min read

You cannot directly convert VMware Workstation Player to OVF format. VMware Workstation Player is a virtualization software, while OVF is a virtual machine (VM) packaging format.

To export a VM from VMware Workstation Player as an OVF, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open VMware Workstation Player and access the virtual machine you want to export.
  2. Go to File > Export in the menu bar.
  3. Select the OVF format in the export wizard.
  4. Choose a location to save your OVF file.
  5. Specify the OVF settings such as the network settings, disk format, and other options.
  6. Click Finish to start the export process.

Once the export is complete, you will have an OVF file that can be imported into other virtualization platforms, such as VMware vSphere or VirtualBox.

Note: The export process may take some time depending on the size of your virtual machine.
