About ACT files
An .ACT file generally serves one of two main purposes: a proprietary audio recording file generated by inexpensive portable voice recorders, or an Adobe Color Table file used by Adobe Photoshop to store color palettes. Less commonly, it acts as game data for titles like Ragnarok Online or legacy Microsoft Office Assistant files. The audio variant of the .ACT format is notoriously frustrating to use. It relies on a heavily compressed, low-bitrate ADPCM scheme created by Actions Semiconductor. Because the format is highly proprietary, most modern operating systems, mobile devices, web browsers, and standard media players will outright reject it. Similarly, Adobe Color Table files are specialized and cannot be natively viewed or shared outside of Adobe's desktop ecosystem. You almost always need to convert .ACT files to make them usable. For audio recordings, convert them to MP3 for universal playback, or WAV for archiving and editing in software like Audacity. If you are dealing with a Photoshop color palette, converting it to ASE (Adobe Swatch Exchange) allows you to share the palette across Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.

The ACT Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ACT converter.
