Extract text from Cache and dependency files (D)
To convert D Cache files to another format, you need GCC or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Compiler Dependency File" file type, you need software like GCC or a similar tool.
The .d file extension is notoriously overloaded and lacks a single universal standard. Most frequently, it acts as a plain text compiler-generated dependency file used by GCC and Make to track source code relationships in C/C++ builds. It is also the official extension for the D programming language source scripts. Conversely, average users typically encounter .d files as proprietary, binary web browser cache files generated by Chromium-based browsers.
The primary disadvantage of the .d format is this extreme fragmentation. Operating systems rarely know what application to launch when double-clicking a .d file. A developer dependency file is simple plain text easily readable in Notepad++, but a Chromium cache file is unreadable binary junk. Furthermore, enterprise applications like GEWISS CAD or Sage accounting use .d for proprietary data exports that require expensive legacy software to view. Because the extension is so generic, file recovery tools also frequently append .d to recovered DOCX, ZIP, or PDF fragments.
To manage this chaos, you must first identify what your file actually is. For sharing code or build logs, convert developer .d files to TXT or PDF. If the file is actually a disguised document, you need a tool to read the hex signature. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser. We will analyze the binary header to reveal its true format - free, online, and without installing software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your D file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MP4, PDF, BIN, ENC, CBP, DEPEND, PL, R, F and I files.
If you want to convert D file to R, F, PDF, I, JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS or PHP, you can use GCC or similar software from the "Source Dependency & Cache Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to D, try GCC or another comparable tool in the "Source Dependency & Cache Storage" 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 D converter.
