Extract text from Temporary data files (CACHE)
To convert CACHE Temporary files to another format, you need Web Browsers and Operating Systems or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Temporary Cache File" file type, you need software like Web Browsers and Operating Systems or a similar tool.
A .cache file is a generic temporary data container used by operating systems, web browsers, and desktop applications. Its primary purpose is to store frequently accessed data locally to reduce load times and bandwidth usage. Because the extension is generic, no single software opens it. You will encounter these files in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Google Picasa, Apple macOS, and gaming platforms like the Valve Source Engine.
The main disadvantage of a .cache file is that it lacks a standardized internal structure. The operating system does not know how to open it, making it useless outside of its parent application. These files are often proprietary binary blobs or standard files intentionally disguised to prevent user tampering. They also accumulate over time, wasting gigabytes of disk space.
Converting a .cache file requires analyzing its internal hex headers to identify the true format. For example, browser cache files are often just PNG or JPG images. App data caches may be standard JSON, XML, or ZIP archives. For web use, convert extracted images to WebP. For archiving data, convert text-based caches to PDF or TXT.

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 CACHE converter.
