Extract text from System definition files (BGT)
To convert BGT System files to another format, you need Wise Care 365 or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "Cleaner Definition File" file type, you need software like Wise Care 365 or a similar tool.
The .BGT file is primarily a system cleaner definition file used by utilities like Wise Care 365 and WinZip Utilities Suite. These files contain specific, structured rules that instruct the software on which temporary files, caches, and registry keys are safe to delete. In rarer instances, the extension is used as a Graphics Accounts Data File associated with FKJ Software.
A major disadvantage of the .BGT format is its highly application-specific nature. While the primary variant relies on standard XML formatting internally, the proprietary extension prevents standard editors and web browsers from recognizing it automatically. This obfuscation makes the file difficult to work with. Manually editing these files without understanding the application's specific syntax is risky, as a single error can break the system cleaner or cause it to mistakenly wipe critical system data. Furthermore, because it functions as an internal configuration file rather than a standard document, typical online converters fail to parse it.
Users typically want to convert .BGT to standard formats like XML or TXT to safely audit the cleaning definitions, or to CSV if they are trying to extract data from the Graphics Accounts Data variant. Since this is a specialized internal format, standard converters will fail. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. We can inspect the file's binary signature, show you the raw text or internal content, and help you extract the underlying XML or text data safely.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BGT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert BGT file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Wise Care 365 or similar software from the "System cleaner definitions" 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 BGT, try Wise Care 365 or another comparable tool in the "System cleaner definitions" 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 BGT converter.
