Extract text from Backup and bank files (AFI)
To convert AFI Backup files to another format, you need AOMEI Backupper or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "File Backup Archive" file type, you need software like AOMEI Backupper or a similar tool.
The .AFI file extension primarily represents an AOMEI File Backup archive created by AOMEI Backupper. It stores compressed, and sometimes encrypted, file-level backups. Secondarily, .AFI files act as New Zealand direct credit files (often associated with BankLink standard accounting) or Spanish Social Security (Sistema RED) affiliation data files.
The main disadvantage of the AOMEI .AFI format is its severe proprietary lock-in. You cannot natively open, browse, or extract these files in Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, or standard archiving tools like 7-Zip. You must install the heavy AOMEI software suite just to extract a single file, which is highly frustrating when working on a different computer. Similarly, the regional banking and government .AFI files are highly specific, legacy text structures that modern spreadsheet software often rejects or formats incorrectly.
For AOMEI backups, true conversion requires extracting the contents back to their original formats. For New Zealand banking or Spanish TGSS files, conversion is highly recommended to make the data usable. For financial data analysis and editing, convert to CSV or XLSX. For archiving tax or accounting records safely, convert to PDF. Drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

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 AFI converter.
