Extract text from Game database files (DBR)
To convert DBR Database files to another format, you need Grim Dawn Asset Manager or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Data Record" file type, you need software like Grim Dawn Asset Manager or a similar tool.
The .DBR file extension is primarily used as a game asset database record for the action role-playing game Grim Dawn by Crate Entertainment. In this context, it stores parameters, stats, and logical definitions for items, monsters, and environments. Additionally, .DBR files are associated with legacy database systems, acting as DataFlex database files, dBase report files, Borland Paradox files, or encrypted retail database scripts for Access India e-POS software.
Users typically need to convert .DBR files to extract data for modding, migration, or reporting. The current formats present significant disadvantages. Game asset .DBR files require the proprietary Grim Dawn Asset Manager to compile and decompile properly. Legacy database variants require obsolete software licenses, and e-POS scripts are actively encrypted to prevent tampering. None of these variations are natively supported by standard web browsers or modern spreadsheet tools like Excel.
The best conversion targets for data extraction are standard text-based formats like CSV, XML, or TXT. Converting to CSV allows the data to be read in any spreadsheet program. However, converting these files means complex database indices, game-specific hierarchical structures, or relational links will be lost.
These files are notoriously difficult to convert because they belong to closed, proprietary ecosystems. Standard online converters fail because they lack the specific parsing logic for Grim Dawn's engine or older Borland database drivers. Often, only the original software can properly read, decrypt, or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying text structure or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be successful.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DBR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DBPR, ZIP, PLOT, AGR and COV files.
If you want to convert DBR file to ISO, IMG, DMG, VHD, VMDK, VDI, HDD, QCOW, QCOW2, RAW, VBOX or OVA, you can use Grim Dawn Asset Manager or similar software from the "Game Asset & Database Records" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert VFD, DMG, OVA, IMA, VBOX, ADF, PVS, VHD, OVF, ISO, DSK or IMG files to DBR, try Grim Dawn Asset Manager or another comparable tool in the "Game Asset & Database Records" 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 DBR converter.
