Convert EXEC to another file type
To convert EXEC coverage files to another format, you need JaCoCo or other Developer software.
Convert a file to EXEC
To convert other file formats to the "Code Coverage Data File" file type, you need software like JaCoCo or a similar tool.
About EXEC files
A .EXEC file is predominantly a Java code coverage data file generated by the JaCoCo toolset. It logs execution metrics during automated software testing. In rare cases, this extension is manually assigned to Windows Executable (.EXE) or Linux ELF program files. The primary disadvantage of the JaCoCo format is that it is a raw, proprietary binary database. You cannot open it natively in a text editor or a web browser. It strictly requires Java build tools like Maven or Gradle to parse the execution dumps alongside the original compiled code. Because of this closed architecture, users are forced to convert these binary dumps into accessible target formats like HTML, XML, or CSV to actually review their test coverage. Executable versions of the file are compiled machine code and generally cannot be converted safely. Standard online converters frequently fail to process .exec files because they lack the specific parsing logic. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EXEC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert EXEC file to JPG, EXE, MSI, APP, DMG, DEB, RPM, PKG, RUN, SH, BAT or CMD, you can use JaCoCo or similar software from the "Java Code Coverage Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert JAR, APP, SCR, IPA, COM, AAB, PS1, DMG, VBS, EXE, XAPK or MSI files to EXEC, try JaCoCo or another comparable tool in the "Java Code Coverage Data" category.
The EXEC 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 EXEC converter.
