About BKT files

A .bkt file functions as a data container for several entirely different applications. Most frequently, it acts as a Dashcam Metadata Log for Viofo and Ambarella-based cameras, or as an automatic backup file in Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve. Additionally, it serves as an offline SQL mobile database for Salesforce Field Service, a game data bucket for Star Wars: The Old Republic, and a component catalog in Glaser CAD software. The major disadvantage of a .bkt file is its extreme fragmentation. The extension simply means 'bucket' or 'backup' and lacks a universal standard. Because the file is proprietary to the creating software, standard online converters fail to read the file structure. You cannot simply open a dashcam .bkt file to watch a video; it only contains raw telemetry and GPS coordinates. True conversion targets are rare. A Salesforce .bkt file can sometimes be dumped to .CSV or .SQL, but DaVinci backups must be restored natively. This file format is incredibly difficult to open or convert because often only the original software can properly read or export the data. Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our platform inspects the file header and shows internal text. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your BKT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted SRR, RTB and ABK files.
