Extract text from DHT files
To convert your DHT file to another format, you need Discord History Tracker or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Chat History Log" file type, you need software like Discord History Tracker or a similar tool.
The .DHT file extension is most frequently associated with Discord History Tracker, a popular open-source tool used to save and archive Discord chat logs locally. These files are actually structured SQLite databases that contain message history, metadata, and server information in a binary format. Because they are raw database files, you cannot simply double-click to read them in a standard text editor like Notepad or Word; doing so will result in garbled text. Users often need to convert these files to JSON, CSV, or HTML to make the chat logs readable, searchable, or shareable without requiring the original tracking software.
Less commonly, a .DHT file may be a GAUSS Data Set Header used by Aptech GAUSS mathematical software. in this context, the file serves as a metadata header for a paired DAT file containing the actual data matrix. If separated from its partner file, this header is often unusable.
For Discord archives, the best approach is to export the data to HTML for viewing or CSV for data analysis. For GAUSS files, ensure both the header and data files are present before attempting conversion to Excel or Matlab formats.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DHT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted JPG, JPEG, PDF, EVENTS, OTC and SQLITEDB files.

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 DHT converter.
