About FLAT files
FLAT files, often referred to as flat files, are simple text files that contain data in a plain-text format. These files typically have extensions such as .txt or .csv and are used for storing structured data. While FLAT files are easy to create and read, they often lack the advanced features of more complex file types, which can present challenges during conversion.
To convert FLAT files into other formats, software like LibreOffice or Microsoft Excel can be used. These programs allow users to open FLAT files and save them in formats such as .xls, .xlsx, or .ods for spreadsheets, or even .pdf for document sharing. For more information on FLAT files, you can visit the Wikipedia page on flat file databases.
When converting FLAT files, users must consider the potential for data loss, particularly if the target format does not support certain data structures or character sets. Additionally, large FLAT files can be cumbersome to manage and may require substantial computational resources during conversion.
Despite these drawbacks, FLAT files remain popular for their simplicity and compatibility. However, if you need to convert these files into more functional formats, we recommend using the free and easy-to-use Convert.Guru website. Simply drag-n-drop your FLAT files onto the page, and let Convert.Guru handle the conversion process with ease and reliability.
The FLAT Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best FLAT converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
