About AEA files

The .AEA file format primarily serves as an Apple Encrypted Asset used for securely syncing media via Apple Photos, or as a Google Ads Editor Archive created by Google Ads Editor to backup advertising campaigns.

These formats present significant accessibility hurdles for the average user. Apple's implementation wraps standard media in a proprietary, encrypted container tied to an Apple ID. You cannot natively view these files on Windows, Linux, or standard web browsers. Meanwhile, Google's .AEA is actually a standard ZIP archive in disguise, but its obscure extension prevents standard extraction tools from opening it directly, leaving users unable to easily access their raw campaign data.

To make this data usable, extraction or conversion is mandatory. For Google Ads archives, you must convert or extract the contents to CSV or XML to edit your campaign data in a spreadsheet. For Apple media, the file must be decrypted and converted to standard JPG, HEIC, or MP4 for cross-platform sharing and web use. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your AEA file.
