About CUB files

The .CUB file extension is a notorious chameleon in the digital world, serving as a container for vastly different types of multidimensional data. In the enterprise sector, it typically represents an OLAP Cube created by Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services or IBM Cognos, used to store complex data arrays for business intelligence. Conversely, in the gaming industry (specifically titles by Artifex Mundi or those using the Techland engine), a .CUB file is a compressed binary archive containing textures, sounds, and models. In scientific circles, it might be a Gaussian volumetric data plot or a USGS planetary image.

This ambiguity is a common source of difficulty: trying to open a binary game archive in Excel results in errors, while opening a high-density chemical plot in a text editor produces gibberish. Users frequently need to convert these files to access their contents without specialized, expensive software.

Best Conversion Targets:

For Data/OLAP: Convert to CSV or XLSX to analyze the dataset in Microsoft Excel.
For Game Archives: Extract contents to PNG (images), WAV (audio), or OBJ (3D models) for editing and viewing.
For Scientific/USGS: Convert to TIFF or JPG to view planetary maps without installing ISIS3, or to PDB for molecular visualization.

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

Users also converted CUBE, CSV, ASPX, 669, 100 and RESS files.

The CUB 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 CUB converter.
