Extract text from EXC files
To convert your EXC file to another format, you need EPLAN Electric P8 or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Data Exchange File" file type, you need software like EPLAN Electric P8 or a similar tool.
The .exc extension represents a classic file format collision, predominantly serving as a Parts Data Exchange file for EPLAN Electric P8, a standard-bearer in electrical engineering design. In this context, the file is technically a renamed ZIP container used to bundle project macros, XML data, and images for transfer between systems. Users often struggle here because the proprietary extension prevents standard archive tools from recognizing the file, forcing a dependency on the expensive EPLAN environment just to view the contents.
A secondary but notable use case is the Exclusion Dictionary for legacy versions of Microsoft Office (2003 era). These are plain text files listing words to be ignored by the spellchecker.
To overcome these limitations:
Convert.Guru analyzes your EXC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted KWI, UFF and BDC files.
If you want to convert EXC file to BASE64, HEX, BIN, ENC, CRYPT, AES, DES, RSA, PGP, GPG, ASC or KEY, you can use EPLAN Electric P8 or similar software from the "EPLAN Parts Exchange" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert CER, BIN, PEM, DER, KEY, P7S, PFX, ENC, P12, BASE64, P7B or HEX files to EXC, try EPLAN Electric P8 or another comparable tool in the "EPLAN Parts Exchange" 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 EXC converter.
