About EA files
The .EA file extension represents a frustrating collision of two distinct, proprietary ecosystems: sports simulation data and e-book metadata.
Most commonly, users encounter this as a Football Manager game save or data archive. These files are notoriously rigid; they are often locked to the specific version of the game engine (e.g., Football Manager 2024) that created them, making them incompatible with older or newer iterations. Because they encapsulate complex database states - player stats, league tables, and match history - they are typically large binary or compressed text files that standard editors cannot parse. Users frequently seek to convert these to XML or CSV to extract player data for external analysis or modding, but the proprietary encoding (often involving GZIP compression) creates a significant barrier to entry without specialized tools.
Alternatively, if you found this file on an e-reader, it is an Amazon Kindle End Action file (often named like book_title.sdr). This small XML-based sidecar file dictates what happens when you finish a book (e.g., triggering the "Rate this Book" screen). While useful, these files often become corrupted, preventing the "Read" status from syncing across devices. In this context, users don't need to "convert" the file so much as view its XML structure to debug it or delete it entirely to force the device to regenerate a clean version.
Whether you are trying to salvage a corrupted game save or fix a stuck Kindle book, convert.guru allows you to inspect the raw contents, identify the file signature, and convert parseable text data to TXT, XML, or JSON for easy editing.

The EA 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 EA converter.
