About CHML files

The .CHML file is a Chameleon Encrypted Database File developed by Krasbit Technologies. It is primarily used to securely store application data, records, and proprietary configurations for the Krasbit software suite. Users often need to convert .CHML files because the format is entirely proprietary and locked behind application-specific encryption. This creates a significant disadvantage: files are completely unreadable by standard database management tools like DBeaver, SQLite, or simple text editors. The strict encryption locks your data into the Krasbit ecosystem, forcing you to maintain access to their specific software just to read your own database entries. The best target formats for database extraction are standard text-based formats like .CSV, .JSON, or .SQL, but direct conversion is blocked by the file's encryption layer. This file format is difficult to open or convert because standard online converters lack the proprietary decryption keys necessary to parse the binary payload. Usually, only the original Krasbit Chameleon software can properly read, decrypt, or export the data. We can inspect the file headers and, if our analysis detects an unencrypted underlying or embedded format, viewing or extracting partial data may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your CHML file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The CHML Converter Story

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 CHML converter.
