Extract text from BGT files
To convert your BGT file to another format, you need WinZip Utilities Suite or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration File" file type, you need software like WinZip Utilities Suite or a similar tool.
A .bgt file is most commonly a System Cleaner Definition File used by PC optimization tools like WinZip Utilities Suite and Wise Care 365. These files utilize a standard XML structure to define specific rules for system maintenance, such as which registry keys to scan or which temporary file paths to purge.
Users run into issues because these files are not intended for direct user interaction; double-clicking them typically results in an "Open with..." error or an unintelligible code view. Because they are plain text-based XML, they do not require expensive proprietary software to view, but they are often locked by the system or obscurely named (sometimes referred to as a ByteGenius tool file).
For users wishing to inspect the cleaning logic or archive the settings, the best conversion target is TXT (for editing in Notepad++) or PDF (for static archiving). A very small percentage of these files may be Graphics Accounts Data Files created by FKJ Software, which are proprietary binary files that generally cannot be converted without the original host application.

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 BGT converter.
