About DETAILS files

A .details file is a specialized metadata container that serves two distinct, high-friction purposes: academic submission tracking and video game state management.

1. Academic Submission Receipt (Primary Use)

Generated by the Technion submission system (and similar Moodle-based platforms), this file acts as a digital receipt for uploaded coursework. It accompanies your actual assignment (e.g., a PDF or DOCX) and contains critical verification data: submission timestamps, student IDs, and file integrity hashes. The Problem: Students often archive their work and later find this unopenable file, worrying they have lost data. It is typically a plain text or XML file disguised with a non-standard extension.
Best Conversion:

For Record Keeping: Open in a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit, then "Print to PDF" to create a permanent, universally readable proof of submission.
For Viewing: Rename the extension to TXT to open it instantly in any browser or editor.

2. Game Save Metadata

Used by the Void Engine in Dishonored 2, this file resides in the save directory (e.g., Saved Games\Arkane Studios\Dishonored2). It stores the "header" information for a save slot: current mission, chaos level, playtime, and the thumbnail image preview. The Friction: Gamers sharing "100% completion" saves often transfer only the main save file, causing the game to report the save as "Corrupt" or "Missing" because the .details descriptor is absent.
Handling:

Do Not Convert: If you intend to play the save, this file must remain in its original format and location.
For Editing: Advanced users can use a Hex Editor to inspect flags, but modifying this file often breaks the save signature.

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

Users also converted MBZ, MBZ__ and PEK files.
