About FAT files

A .FAT file is most frequently encountered as a game data index used by the Ubisoft Dunia Engine (powering titles like Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3, and Driver: San Francisco). In this context, the file acts strictly as a File Allocation Table or directory map for a corresponding DAT file. The .FAT file contains filenames, offsets, and sizes, while the DAT file holds the actual binary data (textures, audio, scripts).

Users typically look to convert these files to extract game assets for modding or localization. A common issue is that a .FAT file is useless on its own; without the accompanying DAT archive in the same directory, conversion tools cannot extract any content. Furthermore, these formats are highly version-specific; a tool built for Far Cry 2 may crash when opening a Far Cry 3 file due to slight changes in the hashing algorithms or compression.

Alternatively, a .FAT file may represent a raw disk image or a dump of a File Allocation Table filesystem used by older Microsoft operating systems. These are often created during forensic data recovery or system backups.

The FAT 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 FAT converter.
