About GED files

GED files, known as GEDCOM files, are widely used in genealogy software to share and store family history data. Despite their utility, converting GED files to other formats can be challenging due to their complex structure and the specific data they hold.

GED files can be converted to several formats such as CSV, PDF, HTML, and DOCX. However, conversion requires careful handling to ensure data integrity. Software like Legacy Family Tree and Gramps can convert GED files to various formats, but these often require installation and technical know-how.

Important considerations include maintaining the original structure and ensuring all genealogical data is accurately translated. Challenges in conversion often arise from differences in data fields and the potential loss of intricate details unique to GED files.

While GED files are great for genealogical data exchange, they lack support for multimedia files and can become cumbersome when dealing with large amounts of data. These drawbacks highlight the advantages of using a versatile platform like Convert.Guru. By dragging and dropping your GED files into Convert.Guru, you can effortlessly convert them into numerous formats without needing to download additional software.

Embrace the ease and reliability of Convert.Guru for all your file conversion needs, ensuring your family history data remains accessible and usable across different platforms and formats.


The GED 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 GED converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
