# Vega-Desktop
> App for viewing visualizations created in Vega or Vega-Lite. We are not always keeping the versions of Vega and Vega-Lite up to date. Please use the [Vega-Editor](https://vega.github.io/editor/) to work with the latest versions.
**Download from [GitHub releases](https://github.com/vega/vega-desktop/releases).**
To download versions before 2.0, please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md).
#### Features
- Can read both Vega and Vega-Lite files.
- Save output as `svg` or `png` from UI.
- Can determine the file format if the extension is `*.vg.json` or `*.vl.json`.
- If the extension is just `*.json`, will check for `$schema` field in the JSON spec.
- Otherwise will try to parse as Vega-Lite, then Vega.
- It will load external data files relative to the spec files directory.
You also can set your OS to have `*.vg.json` or `*.vl.json` opened with vega-desktop by default.
