Extract text from Car scanner logs (BRC)
To convert BRC Logs to another format, you need Car Scanner ELM OBD2 or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Diagnostic Log File" file type, you need software like Car Scanner ELM OBD2 or a similar tool.
The .BRC file is primarily a vehicle diagnostic data record created by the Car Scanner ELM OBD2 application. These files capture live telemetry, sensor readings, and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from a vehicle's On-board diagnostics (OBD2) port. Secondarily, .BRC files are used as project files for Barcode Producer or BarTender to store barcode layout instructions, and by GIB EzyBrace for building bracing calculations.
The main disadvantage of the .BRC format is its proprietary, closed nature. Car Scanner logs are typically saved as proprietary binary records. This means they cannot be opened directly in Microsoft Excel or standard text editors. Users often hit a wall when trying to share their engine telemetry logs with mechanics or vehicle tuners because the recipient lacks the specific mobile app required to interpret the raw data streams.
To make this data useful, users need to convert .BRC files to standard formats like CSV or TXT for spreadsheet analysis, or PDF for sharing diagnostic reports. However, because the format is closed and non-standard, standard online converters fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data into a human-readable format. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded text format, viewing or conversion to common formats may still be achievable.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BRC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CSV, MMD, TXM and MOR files.

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 BRC converter.
