Convert Game data files (BLK) online for free
The converter easily converts your BLK Data files to various formats - free and online. No War Thunder or or other Game software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "Configuration Data Block" formats to BLK without using software like War Thunder or a similar tool.
The .BLK file extension serves multiple completely distinct, often incompatible purposes. Most frequently, it acts as a game data block used by the Dagor Engine for War Thunder developed by Gaijin Entertainment. In this environment, it stores vehicle skins, custom sights, control configurations, or mission parameters. Another highly critical use case in the enterprise sector is the Canadian Record of Employment (ROE) data file. Generated by software like QuickBooks Online Payroll or Sage 50, these are structured XML files formatted specifically for upload to the Service Canada ROE Web portal. Other niche variations include Leica BLK360 heavy 3D laser scan data and variable-length blocks for Componentace Absolute Database.
The massive disadvantage of .BLK files is their total lack of standardization. A War Thunder binary configuration file is vastly different from a plaintext Service Canada ROE file. Attempting to open a compiled game .BLK with a standard text editor yields unreadable gibberish. Conversely, parsing raw XML from an ROE file manually is incredibly prone to formatting errors. They are strictly proprietary or application-locked, making them useless for general web sharing or viewing. Users are effectively trapped in the specific software ecosystem to interact with the data.
Converting these files is highly dependent on their internal structure. For plaintext War Thunder configurations, converting to TXT or JSON is ideal for modding and editing. For Canadian ROE files, converting the underlying XML data to CSV or XLSX is essential for human-readable auditing in Excel, while converting to PDF/A provides a stable, unalterable format for permanent HR archiving. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software. Convert.guru will analyze the file's binary signature to determine exactly what type of .BLK you have and offer the most practical export formats.

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 BLK converter.
