About CLKK files
A .CLKK file is a custom on-screen keyboard layout created for Clicker, an educational literacy software developed by Crick Software. These files store customized digital keyboard grids designed to help children and students with special educational needs. A single file dictates letter groupings, color coding (such as highlighting vowels), word banks, and accessibility configurations like SuperKeys.
The primary disadvantage of the .CLKK format is its proprietary nature. It uses the closed application/vnd.crick.clicker.keyboard MIME type, making it strictly tied to the Crick Software ecosystem. If a teacher emails a .CLKK file to a parent who does not have the paid Clicker software installed, the file is completely unreadable. Standard operating systems and web browsers cannot open or parse these files, and standard online converters fail because it is not a traditional document.
Users typically look to convert .CLKK files to extract the underlying educational content, such as custom word lists or vocabulary grids, to use in other tools. The best target formats are TXT, DOCX, or PDF. However, be aware that converting this file will strip away the graphical layout and interactive elements; you will only recover the raw text data.
Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CLKK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert CLKK file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Clicker or similar software from the "Custom Keyboard Layout 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 CLKK, try Clicker or another comparable tool in the "Custom Keyboard Layout Storage" category.
The CLKK 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 CLKK converter.
