Extract text from ECAR files
To convert your ECAR file to another format, you need DIKSHA App or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "E-Learning Archive" file type, you need software like DIKSHA App or a similar tool.
An .ecar file is an Educational Content Archive used primarily by the DIKSHA platform, an initiative by the Government of India for school education. These files function as self-contained packages that bundle lesson plans, textbooks, videos, and interactive exercises for offline use within the DIKSHA mobile and desktop applications.
The primary difficulty for users is that .ecar files are proprietary containers. While excellent for the DIKSHA app, they are completely unreadable by standard media players or PDF readers on a generic PC or Mac. Users often download these files hoping to watch a lecture video or print a worksheet, only to find their operating system cannot open them. This proprietary lock-in forces reliance on the specific app environment.
However, technically, an .ecar file is simply a renamed ZIP archive. It contains standard web assets - index.html, manifest.json, assets folders, MP4 videos, PDF documents, and WEBM files. For most users, the most practical "conversion" is actually extraction. By renaming the extension from .ecar to zip, you can open the package with tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR. Once extracted, you can directly access the educational material (e.g., watching the video files in VLC or reading documents in Adobe Acrobat) without needing the original platform.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ECAR 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 ECAR converter.
