Extract text from EZCAD projects or data logs (EZ3)
To convert EZ3 projects or logs to another format, you need Easy Clocking or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Data Log" file type, you need software like Easy Clocking or a similar tool.
The .ez3 extension represents a frustrating intersection of proprietary data storage and industrial hardware lock-in. It primarily functions as a time and attendance data log generated by Easy Clocking hardware. These files store employee punch times, biometric templates, and shift records. The core problem is accessibility; this data is often encapsulated in a proprietary binary structure meant solely for communication between the time clock and the Easy Clocking software dashboard. HR managers and payroll administrators frequently struggle to extract this raw data into usable formats like CSV or XLSX for integration with payroll systems like QuickBooks or ADP.
Alternatively, a significant portion of .ez3 files are laser marking project files created by EZCAD3 (the successor to the popular EZCAD2 EZD format) from BJJCZ. Unlike standard CAD files, these contain machine-specific parameters for 3D laser galvo heads alongside vector graphics. Designers often find themselves unable to open archived projects without a specific laser control board connected. For these users, the goal is typically converting the vector geometry back to standard exchange formats like DXF, SVG, or PLT for editing in Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW, or for import into alternative laser control software like LightBurn.

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 EZ3 converter.
