Convert a file to CLOG

To convert other file formats to the "Client Log File" file type, you need software like War Thunder or a similar tool.


About CLOG files

A .clog file is primarily a Client Log file used by the War Thunder game engine developed by Gaijin Entertainment. It can also be a legacy phone call log backup created by the discontinued Nokia PC Suite. Additionally, it is used by the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) as a compressed log, and by MediaTek for wireless chipset firmware logs.

War Thunder .clog files are extremely restrictive. They are binary-encoded, often compressed, and practically impossible to read using standard text editors like Notepad. Users generate them specifically for submitting bug reports on crashes, but cannot easily inspect the contents to understand the errors themselves. Similarly, Nokia .clog files use UTF-16 (LE) encoding with a proprietary structural formatting that modern smartphones completely reject.

Users typically want to convert .clog files to standard TXT to read crash data, or to CSV to import old Nokia call logs into modern spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel.

Because most .clog files are closed and proprietary, standard online converters fail to process them.

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

Users also converted WOTREPLAY, WOTMOD and SC2 files.
