Local data
Foxglove can load local data files for visualization.
Supported formats
| File extension | |
|---|---|
| ROS 1 | .bag |
| ROS 2 | .db3 |
| MCAP | .mcap |
| PX4 ULog | .ulg |
Since ROS 2 .db3 files do not contain their message definitions, we recommend first converting those into self-contained MCAP files before loading into Foxglove.
Getting started
To load a local file for visualization, you have several options:
- Double-click the file from your file manager
- Drag-and-drop the file into Foxglove directly
- "Open local file" in the "Open data source" dialog to select a file from your filesystem
