Extract text from database diagrams (DBD)
To convert DBD databases to another format, you need IObit Driver Booster or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Specific Database" file type, you need software like IObit Driver Booster or a similar tool.
The .DBD file extension is heavily fragmented and serves as a container for various proprietary databases, data logs, and database diagrams. It is most frequently used by IObit Driver Booster for offline driver databases, Devart dbForge Studio for XML-based database diagrams, and Dexcom continuous glucose monitors for health data logs. In industrial settings, .DBD files store CNC machine parameters for Okuma and Fanuc systems. Because it is used by dozens of entirely different platforms, there is no single standard. Files are often encrypted or stored in undocumented binary formats.
Users typically need to convert .DBD files to extract critical health data, hardware logs, or project configurations into readable formats. However, the proprietary nature of these files presents major disadvantages. Standard online converters fail because the internal structure is closed and application-specific. You cannot easily open a Dexcom glucose log in a standard spreadsheet or extract an obsolete InstallShield DemoShield project without the native, often expensive, software.
The most realistic solution is to open the file in the specific software that created it and export the data to an open format like CSV, XML, or SQL. For instance, dbForge diagrams can often be exported to standard raster or vector images, while ERP databases might export to standard SQL dumps.
Because this file format is so difficult to open or convert blindly, standard conversion tools are useless. Our tool can identify the exact format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like an unencrypted XML or SQLite structure - viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DBD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BDB, BCK, DBF, IDX, JPG, MDB, EXE, XAPK, DATA, IFM, XP3 and DBI files.
If you want to convert DBD file to DBI, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT or DB, you can use IObit Driver Booster or similar software from the "Proprietary Database and Diagrams" 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 DBD, try IObit Driver Booster or another comparable tool in the "Proprietary Database and Diagrams" 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 DBD converter.
