Extract text from Corel chart files (CCH)
To convert CCH charts to another format, you need Microsoft .NET Framework or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Cache File" file type, you need software like Microsoft .NET Framework or a similar tool.
The .CCH file extension is highly fragmented and serves entirely different purposes depending on the software that created it. Most frequently, it acts as a Code Access Security cache file generated by the Microsoft .NET Framework. These system files store security resolutions to speed up application execution. Alternatively, .CCH files are used as legacy graph documents created by CorelCHART (often utilizing underlying TIFF structures), disguised cached image files from the Odnoklassniki social network (which use the standard JFIF/JPEG format), and career progression save files for the rFactor racing simulator.
The main disadvantage of the .CCH format is extreme ambiguity. Multiple developers use the exact same file extension for completely different data types, so your operating system rarely knows which software to launch. The .NET cache files are proprietary binary data locked to system processes. Legacy Corel files require obsolete, expensive software to view, making them terrible for archiving or sharing. Social media apps actively use the .CCH extension to hide temporary images from your device's photo gallery.
If you have a .CCH chart file, you should convert it to a modern format like PDF, PNG, or standard TIF to ensure long-term accessibility. If you have an Odnoklassniki cache file, you want to convert it to a standard JPG so your image viewers recognize it.
Because of this fragmentation, standard online converters usually fail. They assume all .CCH files are the same type and throw errors. This file format is difficult to open or convert blindly. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. convert.guru can identify the file format, inspect the internal file header, show text or embedded content, and process the underlying format correctly.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CCH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, LICX, LICENSES and PF files.
If you want to convert CCH file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Microsoft .NET Framework or similar software from the "System Cache Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to CCH, try Microsoft .NET Framework or another comparable tool in the "System Cache Data Storage" 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 CCH converter.
