Extract text from Electronic fingerprint files (EFT)
To convert EFT Fingerprint files to another format, you need NIST Biometric Image or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Biometric Data File" file type, you need software like NIST Biometric Image or a similar tool.
The .EFT extension is heavily fragmented and used across completely unrelated industries. Primarily, it represents an Electronic Fingerprint Transmission file based on the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard, utilized by NIST Biometric Image Software for law enforcement and background checks. However, it is equally common as a business management data archive for Italian accounting software Danea Easyfatt, a raw NACHA electronic funds transfer file generated by QuickBooks, a compiled engine map for automotive tuning software like Alientech ECM Titanium, or simply a plain-text JSON file storing RGB lighting profiles for Logitech Gaming Software.
This extreme fragmentation makes .EFT files notoriously difficult to handle. Because the extension is shared by compressed ZIP archives, zlib-encoded binary engine maps, and standard text files, the default operating system behavior will usually fail to open the file correctly. For instance, proprietary accounting formats lock your financial data behind specific software. Biometric .EFT files require specialized government or enterprise-grade software to view. Without knowing the exact source, attempting to open an .EFT file in a standard text editor will often result in unreadable gibberish or a software crash.
To make this data usable, format conversion is strictly necessary. For biometric or accounting data extraction, convert to CSV or PDF to enable standard reporting and archiving. Logitech RGB profiles can be cleanly converted to standard JSON or TXT for web editing. Engine tuning files often need conversion to raw BIN formats for flashing to an ECU.
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.
If you want to convert EFT file to PDF, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT or DB, you can use NIST Biometric Image or similar software from the "Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to EFT, try NIST Biometric Image or another comparable tool in the "Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Data" 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 EFT converter.
