Extract text from GDR files
To convert your GDR file to another format, you need Geometry Dash or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Replay Data File" file type, you need software like Geometry Dash or a similar tool.
A .gdr file is primarily known as a Geometry Dash Replay or macro file, generated by third-party modding tools like xdBot, Mega Hack, or Geometry Dash Recorder. Unlike a video file, this format stores raw input data - frame-perfect clicks, holds, and releases - which allows the game engine to reconstruct a player's run in real-time. Because it is data rather than footage, you cannot open a .gdr file in media players like VLC. Users often face compatibility friction between different bot versions (e.g., an xdBot macro may not load natively in Mega Hack v7). To share your run with non-players or upload it to YouTube, you must render the replay data into a standard video format like MP4 or AVI using the mod's internal rendering engine. For analysis or porting inputs to other bots, converting to JSON, TXT, or GPC is the standard workflow.
In a completely different professional context, a .gdr file may be an ID badge layout created by Guard Draw or ImageWare EPI Suite. these files define the visual structure of employee ID cards, including database connections, image placeholders, and magnetic stripe encoding settings. These are strictly proprietary; they cannot be edited in Adobe Illustrator or opened without an expensive, active software license. If you need to share a draft design with a client or archive the layout, the only practical solution is to export the design to PDF or a high-resolution PNG image from within the original application.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GDR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GDR2, MHR, RE, JSON, TXT, CDR, GBR, GRD, JPG and ZIP files.
If you want to convert GDR file to TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2, EOT, SVG, BDF, PCF, FNT, FON, PFM or AFM, you can use Geometry Dash or similar software from the "Geometry Dash Macro Replay" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert UFO, WOFF, PFB, GXF, AFM, F3F, SFD, WOFF2, PSF, TTF, TXF or OTF files to GDR, try Geometry Dash or another comparable tool in the "Geometry Dash Macro Replay" 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 GDR converter.
