Extract text from Photoshop actions (ATN)
To convert ATN actions to another format, you need Adobe Photoshop or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Photoshop Actions File" file type, you need software like Adobe Photoshop or a similar tool.
A .atn file is a recorded macro used to automate tasks in Adobe Photoshop. It stores a sequence of image editing steps, such as resizing, applying filters, or adjusting color balance. Users load these files into Adobe Photoshop via the Actions panel to process large batches of images quickly.
The primary disadvantage of the .atn format is its proprietary, closed nature. It requires an active, expensive subscription to open. You cannot view the contents of a .atn file in standard web browsers or text editors. Because it contains binary instructions rather than image data, standard online converters fail to process it. You cannot convert a .atn file into a JPG or PNG image.
If you need to read the instructions, the best target formats are TXT or XML. However, this file format is difficult to open or convert because its internal structure is undocumented. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ATN file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TXT, 8BF, JPG, ZIP, XMP, JSX, ACTION, UASSET, BIN, PDF, XML, MKS and STD files.
If you want to convert ATN file to XML, XMP, INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV or PROPERTIES, you can use Adobe Photoshop or similar software from the "Photoshop Action Automation" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to ATN, try Adobe Photoshop or another comparable tool in the "Photoshop Action Automation" category.
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 ATN converter.
