About DBF files
DBF files are a type of database file format used by a variety of database management systems. They are usually associated with the dBase database system, but can also be used by other programs such as FoxPro, Visual FoxPro, and Clipper. The files are stored in a binary format, which makes them difficult to read and edit without specialized software. DBF files are also not compatible with many other database systems, so conversion is often necessary.
There are a few different ways to convert DBF files. Software such as DBF Commander Professional, DBF Viewer 2000 can be used to open and edit DBF files, as well as convert them to other formats such as CSV, XLS, and SQL. Additionally see Wikipedia also has a list of software for converting DBF files.
When converting DBF files, it is important to consider the structure of the original file and the structure of the target file. For example, if the original file is a dBase III file and the target file is a CSV file, the structure of the CSV file must be compatible with the structure of the dBase III file in order for the conversion to be successful. Additionally, it is important to consider the data types of the fields in the original file and the target file, as some data types may not be compatible with each other.
Using DBF files can be challenging due to their binary format and lack of compatibility with other database systems. Additionally, converting DBF files can be difficult due to the complexity of the structure and data types. For these reasons, it is often easier to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert DBF files.

The DBF 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 DBF converter.
