Extract text from Data Rescue scan files (DRSCAN)
To convert DRSCAN Scan files to another format, you need Data Rescue or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Data Recovery Session File" file type, you need software like Data Rescue or a similar tool.
A .drscan file is a proprietary session file created by Data Rescue, a popular data recovery application by Prosoft Engineering. It stores the structural map and progress of a deep disk scan so users do not have to restart lengthy recovery processes.
Users often attempt to convert this file to export the recovered file list or access data without paying for a full software license. The main disadvantage of the .drscan format is that it is highly proprietary, completely closed, and strictly tied to the original hardware state. It cannot be opened by standard web browsers or document editors.
Because of its closed nature, you cannot directly convert a .drscan file to standard document formats like CSV or PDF. This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a complex binary map, and only the original software can properly read or export the underlying data. Standard online converters will fail to process it. Our analysis tools can inspect the binary contents, extract readable text strings, and determine if any supported embedded data can be retrieved without needing the original recovery software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DRSCAN file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 DRSCAN converter.
