Convert CTF files online for free
The converter easily converts your CTF file to various formats - free and online. No Excel or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Developer formats to CTF with high quality output.
The .CTF extension typically represents a MATLAB Component Technology File created by MathWorks MATLAB. These files function as compressed archives (similar to ZIP) containing compiled code and assets required to deploy MATLAB applications to systems without a full MATLAB installation. While efficient for distribution, they are opaque to standard users; you cannot view the internal scripts or data without the specific MATLAB Runtime environment, which creates significant version-dependency friction. Users often need to convert or extract these archives to standard ZIP format to inspect contents or debug deployment issues.
Alternatively, a .CTF file may be a WhereIsIt? Catalog File, used by the disk cataloging software to store searchable databases of media collections. These proprietary databases lock your metadata into a format that cannot be opened by modern spreadsheet tools like Microsoft Excel or web browsers. To modernize your data or migrate to a new system, converting these catalogs to CSV, XLSX, or TXT is essential for accessibility.
Less common variations include Canon CameraWindow album files, Sony PSP custom themes, or Oxford Instruments scientific text files. Regardless of the origin, convert.guru allows you to identify the specific file structure and convert it to accessible formats like PDF for documentation, ZIP for extraction, or CSV for data analysis.

If you want to convert CTF file to CSV, PTF, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT or DB, you can use MATLAB or similar software from the "MATLAB Deployment Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to CTF, try MATLAB or another comparable tool in the "MATLAB Deployment Archive" 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 CTF converter.
