Extract text from Keyence analysis files (CAG)
To convert CAG databases to another format, you need Keyence Analysis Software or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Scientific Analysis & Database" file type, you need software like Keyence Analysis Software or a similar tool.
The .CAG file extension is most frequently associated with proprietary Microscope Analysis Data generated by Keyence Corporation digital microscopes (specifically the VK series). These files encapsulate complex confocal analysis data, including 3D topography, surface profiles, and raw measurement values, rather than just simple images. While powerful for scientific metrology, the format is a common problem for collaboration: the files are completely unreadable without the specific, often expensive or hardware-locked Keyence analysis software. Researchers and engineers often need to convert these files into CSV or XLSX to manipulate the raw data in Microsoft Excel, or into standard image formats like TIFF or JPG for publication.
A secondary but notable use of the .CAG extension is within the ComponentAce Absolute Database ecosystem, a single-file database engine for Delphi and C++ Builder. In this context, the file serves as a compact database container. The primary challenge here is vendor lock-in; developers often need to migrate this data to more universal formats like SQL dumps or CSV for use in modern web applications. Finally, legacy users may encounter .CAG files as part of the obsolete Microsoft ClipArt Gallery package, a format that is effectively dead on modern Windows systems, necessitating conversion to modern vector formats like SVG or PNG for preservation.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CAG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CAJ, VTX, TMS and WF1 files.
If you want to convert CAG file to SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF, FLA, XFL or SKETCH, you can use Keyence Analysis Software or similar software from the "Microscope Analysis Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert AFPUB, EPS, FIG, VSD, SKETCH, VDX, AFPHOTO, PDF, AFDESIGN, SVG, VSDX or AI files to CAG, try Keyence Analysis Software or another comparable tool in the "Microscope Analysis Data" 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 CAG converter.
