About ATE files

The .ATE file extension serves multiple, highly specific purposes, most prominently as an automation script package for the AutoTouch macro recording application on iOS and Android devices. Internally, AutoTouch structures these files as standard ZIP archives containing executable LUA scripts and referenced image files. Secondary uses for the .ATE format include test data for Complete Anatomy by 3D4Medical, environment settings for the BioWare Aurora Engine, and obsolete compressed backups for Microsoft Office Accounting. The primary disadvantage of the .ATE format is its proprietary lock-in. AutoTouch files are entirely useless outside of the mobile app ecosystem unless they are extracted. Microsoft Accounting backups are even more problematic; the software was discontinued over a decade ago, making it exceptionally difficult to access the trapped financial data without legacy software. When dealing with an .ATE file, you usually need to extract or convert it to bypass these limitations. For editing and development, convert or extract the file to ZIP or LUA so you can modify the code in a standard text editor. For anatomy test data, parsing the file into TXT or CSV makes the data readable on any system. If you just need the visual assets from an AutoTouch script, extract the contents to web-friendly PNG or JPG images. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software right here on convert.guru.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ATE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted ATI, SBB and MIG files.
