About 4DC files

4DC files are associated with 4th Dimension, a powerful and sophisticated database management system (DBMS). These files are primarily used to store data related to 4D projects, including database structure and application data. While they are highly efficient for dedicated tasks within the 4D environment, converting them into different formats can pose challenges due to their proprietary nature.

Common conversion targets for 4DC files include more accessible formats such as .csv, .xls (Excel), .xlsx, and .txt, which can be used by a broader range of applications. To achieve this, specialized software like 4D Developer can be used to export data. Additionally, desktop database management tools such as FileMaker or Microsoft SQL Server might also support importing and exporting similar data structures.

One of the main considerations when converting 4DC files is preserving the integrity and structure of the data. This can be particularly challenging if there are complex relationships or custom scripts within the original 4D database. Users must also be aware of the potential for data loss or corruption during the conversion process.

Despite these challenges, the drawbacks of sticking solely with 4DC files include limited compatibility with other systems and difficulty in data sharing. For those seeking a streamlined, reliable solution to convert 4DC files, using the free and easy-to-use website Convert.Guru is highly recommended. By simply dragging and dropping your 4DC files onto the webpage, you can effortlessly convert them to numerous formats like CSV, XLS, and TXT, ensuring wider accessibility and usability.


The 4DC Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best 4DC converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
