Extract text from Eudora and Euphoria files (EU)
To convert EU files to another format, you need Eudora or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration File" file type, you need software like Eudora or a similar tool.
The .EU file extension represents a collision of two distinct legacy and technical worlds. Primarily, it functions as a Configuration Data File for the discontinued Eudora email client (acquired by Qualcomm). These files often contain encrypted user settings, filter rules, or personality definitions that are illegible to standard text editors, creating a significant "black box" problem for users attempting to migrate old email archives to modern clients like Outlook or Thunderbird. Opening them requires the original legacy software or specialized forensic tools.
In a developer context, .EU serves as an Include File for the Euphoria programming language. These are plain text source files used to modularize code, but they are often mistaken for binary system files due to the obscurity of the language. Additionally, a significant portion of .EU files are simply PDF documents or MHTML web archives that were downloaded from European Union (.eu) domain websites and accidentally renamed by the operating system or browser download manager.
For Eudora files, the best conversion target is Plain Text (.TXT) to scrape readable data, or XML for structured migration. For Euphoria files, converting to TXT or PDF allows for universal code review and archiving without installing the interpreter.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EU 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 EU converter.
