About BDIC files
A .BDIC file is a proprietary binary dictionary used by Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers for real-time spell checking. Unlike standard DIC or AFF files used by LibreOffice, the .BDIC format is a compiled database designed for speed, meaning it cannot be opened or edited in a text editor like Notepad. Users often encounter these files when trying to modify their browser's spell-check list, merge dictionaries, or extract saved words, only to find unreadable binary code. To edit the contents or migrate data, you must convert the file to a plain text format (TXT) or decompiled Hunspell source (DIC).
Convert.Guru analyzes your BDIC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert BDIC file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Google Chrome or similar software from the "Browser Spell Check Dictionary" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to BDIC, try Google Chrome or another comparable tool in the "Browser Spell Check Dictionary" category.
The BDIC 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 BDIC converter.
