Extract text from Duplicate file lists (DUPEGURU)
To convert DUPEGURU Duplicate lists to another format, you need dupeGuru or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Scan Results File" file type, you need software like dupeGuru or a similar tool.
A .DUPEGURU file is a session save file created by dupeGuru, an open-source, cross-platform utility originally developed by Hardcoded Software. It stores a structured list of duplicate files found during a system scan, retaining critical data like file paths, sizes, and fuzzy match percentages. Users generate these files to pause their deduplication workflow and resume it later without enduring a time-consuming re-scan of their storage drives.
The main disadvantage of the .DUPEGURU format is its strict dependency on the parent application. It is a niche, purpose-built project file. Sharing a .DUPEGURU file is practically useless because the recipient lacks your specific hard drive directory structure and likely does not have the software installed. Additionally, the file cannot be natively viewed or analyzed in standard desktop environments or web browsers, locking your scan data inside the application.
To make your scan results portable, you must convert the data to standard tabular formats like CSV, HTML, or TXT. Converting to these formats allows you to audit your duplicate lists using spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel.
Because this format uses a specialized internal schema, generic online document converters fail to process it. They do not possess the necessary parsers to understand the application's unique grouping logic. Since .DUPEGURU files are typically built on standard text or XML frameworks, our engine can often inspect the file, reveal the internal file paths, and help you extract the raw text data safely.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DUPEGURU file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert DUPEGURU file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use dupeGuru or similar software from the "Duplicate File Scan Results" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to DUPEGURU, try dupeGuru or another comparable tool in the "Duplicate File Scan Results" category.
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 DUPEGURU converter.
