Extract text from ColdFusion component files (CFC)
To convert CFC component files to another format, you need Adobe ColdFusion or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Component Source Code" file type, you need software like Adobe ColdFusion or a similar tool.
The .CFC file extension primarily represents either a ColdFusion Component file used for web development or a game character command file used in the Yakuza video game series.
ColdFusion Components are server-side scripts originally developed to encapsulate business logic and object-oriented programming concepts in ColdFusion web applications. These are text-based files containing CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) tags or cfscript. The massive disadvantage is that running them natively requires expensive, proprietary server software like Adobe ColdFusion or complex open-source alternatives like Lucee. Sharing code with non-developers, conducting code audits, or migrating legacy servers to modern languages often forces users to convert .CFC files to universal formats like TXT, HTML, or PDF.
Alternatively, the .CFC extension is heavily utilized as a game character command file by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio for the Yakuza franchise, or as an animation cache file within the Crytek CryEngine. These game-specific .CFC files are proprietary binary formats. They are notoriously difficult to open or convert because they lack official documentation, meaning only the original game engine or niche community modding tools can properly read or export the data.
Standard online converters fail to process game binaries or properly format CFML syntax. If our analysis detects a supported underlying text format, viewing or conversion may still be seamlessly executed.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CFC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TXT, PDF, CFM, A6P and EPS files.
If you want to convert CFC file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use Adobe ColdFusion or similar software from the "Web Scripting & Game Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to CFC, try Adobe ColdFusion or another comparable tool in the "Web Scripting & Game 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 CFC converter.
