About DT files

The .DT file extension most frequently represents a database dump generated by 1C:Enterprise, a versatile ERP and business automation platform. These files serve as compressed backups used to migrate configuration and data between different infobases (e.g., from file-based to client-server SQL architectures). While essential for system administration, .DT files are proprietary binary containers that cannot be opened by standard text editors or web browsers. Users often face friction when attempting to extract specific data without a licensed installation of the 1C platform, or when version mismatches prevent restoring a backup.

A secondary but significant use of .DT is within the RPG Maker ecosystem (specifically VX Ace), where it stores serialized game options and configuration data. These files are often opaque to users wanting to mod games or tweak settings outside the engine.

Conversion Strategies:

For Data Analysis & Migration: Convert 1C .DT files to XML or CSV to make the business logic and records accessible to other database systems like PostgreSQL or Excel.
For Documentation: If the .DT file acts as a legacy document template (a rare occurrence associated with Microsoft Word), convert it to PDF or DOCX for universal readability and archiving.
For Game Modding: Convert RPG Maker data to JSON or YAML to human-read and edit serialized game variables.

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

Users also converted DT3, DT1, DT2, XSB, PLAN, DAT, PKPASS, ZIP, SDOCX and SES_STATE files.
