About DMP files
A .DMP file is most commonly a Windows Memory Dump, a binary snapshot created by the Microsoft Windows operating system when a computer crashes (often the result of the "Blue Screen of Death"). These files contain critical stack trace data, loaded drivers, and kernel information essential for debugging system failures. A secondary but significant use is the Oracle Database Export, where the file serves as a logical backup containing schemas, tables, and data generated by the exp or expdp utilities within Oracle Database.
Accessing data within a .DMP file is notoriously difficult because it is not a human-readable text format. Opening a crash dump requires specialized debugging tools like WinDbg or Visual Studio, which have steep learning curves and require symbol path configuration. Oracle dumps are similarly locked, requiring an active database instance to "import" the data before it can be viewed. Users typically need to convert these files to extract actionable insights. For crash analysis, converting the binary output to a TXT log or HTML report allows for easier sharing with support teams. For database files, administrators often need to extract table data into CSV, SQL, or XLSX formats for migration or auditing without restoring the entire database.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DMP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DUMP, MDMP, BMP, DPM, TXT, ZIP, GAMELOG, PDF, LOG, JPG, CDW, TMP and NV-GPUDMP files.
The DMP 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 DMP converter.
