About DATA files
A .data file is a generic, catch-all extension used by hundreds of software applications to store raw application data. Common uses include Unity game assets, Rockstar Games RAGE engine archives, Apple binary property lists, SQLite databases, and plain-text Machine Learning datasets like those from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. The primary disadvantage of a .data format is its complete lack of standardization. The extension tells the operating system absolutely nothing about the actual internal format. This makes it impossible to know which program is required to open it just by looking at the name. Double-clicking it usually results in an OS error, and opening a binary .data file in a basic text editor causes crashes or displays garbled text. To convert or use a .data file, you must first identify its true file signature. If the file is a text-based dataset, convert it to CSV or JSON for immediate web use and data science workflows. If it is an Apple binary property list, convert it to XML for human readability. For SQLite databases disguised with a .data extension, extract the tables to SQL. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it free, online, and without installing software.

The DATA 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 DATA converter.
