Extract text from Business card files (BIZ)
To convert BIZ Business cards to another format, you need PageMagic or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Business Card Design File" file type, you need software like PageMagic or a similar tool.
The .biz file extension primarily represents two completely different data types: legacy Business Card Design files and modern weighing scale data exports. Historically, .biz files were created by 1990s and 2000s desktop publishing software like MySoftware PageMagic or Broderbund Print Shop to store business card layouts. In industrial settings, .biz is used by Bizerba weighing systems to export batch weighing scale data using an underlying XML structure.
Opening or converting these files today is extremely difficult. The legacy business card files are obsolete, proprietary binary files that lock your design data inside. They are not supported by web browsers, modern operating systems, or standard image editors. Bizerba exports are easier to handle but require specialized software like BizReader or an XML parser to make sense of the machine data.
For business card files, the ideal target formats are PDF or JPG for reliable printing, though you will lose the ability to edit the layout. For Bizerba data, converting to XML or CSV is best for database integration and spreadsheet viewing.
Because the business card variant is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the graphical data. Since many of these legacy files use the Microsoft Compound format, our analysis can often extract the raw text (like names, titles, and phone numbers) or embedded image assets even without the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BIZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BZZ, PDF, POC, HCR and PL1 files.
If you want to convert BIZ file to INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11, OMP or P65, you can use PageMagic or similar software from the "Business Card Design Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to BIZ, try PageMagic or another comparable tool in the "Business Card Design Storage" 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 BIZ converter.
