About DAS files

The .DAS file extension represents a diverse range of formats, most notably serving as Game Save Files for the acclaimed Dragon Age series by BioWare, including Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Inquisition. These files store complex campaign progress, character stats, and world states. Users frequently experience issues here because these files are proprietary, version-dependent, and cannot be opened by standard text editors, making cross-platform transfers or save editing difficult without specialized tools.

Beyond gaming, .DAS frequently functions as a Data Acquisition System file in scientific and industrial sectors. For instance, Doodly uses it as a JSON-based asset bundle for whiteboard animations, while HORIBA and PicoQuant utilize it for fluorescence decay data analysis in software like DAS6. Industrial engineers might also encounter .DAS logs generated by Danieli Automation or Daikin VRV systems. These technical formats present a "black box" challenge: the raw data is inaccessible without the specific originating hardware or expensive software suites.

For Data Acquisition and scientific files, the best conversion strategy is targeting CSV or XLSX (Excel) to enable analysis in standard spreadsheet software. For Doodly assets, renaming the extension to JSON or ZIP often reveals the internal structure for web use. For Dragon Age saves, direct conversion is limited, but specialized save editors can parse them into XML or text formats for modification.

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

Users also converted ZIP, ERF, DLB, GPX and NAS files.



The DAS 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 DAS converter.
