About EFT files

The .EFT file extension primarily identifies an Electronic Fingerprint Transmission file, a standardized biometric container defined by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). These files are critical for law enforcement and background checks, encapsulating Type-4 (high-resolution fingerprint images), Type-10 (facial mugs), and Type-14 (variable resolution) records alongside demographic metadata. However, because they adhere to strict binary ANSI/NIST-ITL standards, they are completely unreadable by standard image viewers or text editors. This requires users to rely on expensive, specialized biometric suites just to verify the file's contents.

A significant minority of .EFT files are proprietary archives created by Danea Easyfatt, an Italian invoicing and warehouse management solution. These files lock critical business data inside a closed format, making it difficult to share historical records with accountants not using the same software. Similarly, Logitech uses this extension for RGB lighting profiles in JSON format.

To overcome these accessibility barriers, users should convert .EFT files based on their origin. For biometric files, converting internal image records to PNG, JPG, or TIFF allows for immediate visual inspection, while extracting metadata to PDF or XML ensures readable reporting. For Danea archives, converting to PDF or XLSX (Excel) liberates the data for universal access and auditing.

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

Users also converted ETF, RTF, ZIP, PDF, TXT, JPG, AUX, CHI and XFT files.



The EFT 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 EFT converter.
