Convert GG files online for free
The converter easily converts your GG file to various formats - free and online. No Google Desktop or or other Compressed software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Widget Archive" file type, you need software like Google Desktop or a similar tool.
The .gg file extension is a prime example of a "container lottery" - it most commonly refers to a Google Desktop Gadget, but it frequently appears as a Sega Game Gear ROM or a KiriKiri game archive.
If you possess a Google Desktop Gadget, you are dealing with a relic from the mid-2000s. The Google Desktop platform was discontinued in 2011, meaning these files are effectively dead executables. They are, however, technically standard ZIP archives containing XML, HTML, and JavaScript source code. A common issue here is the obsolescence of the host software; you cannot "run" them safely or easily on modern Windows versions. To salvage data or inspect the code, the best workflow is converting or renaming the file to ZIP and extracting the contents.
Alternatively, if the file is a Sega Game Gear ROM, it contains a raw dump of a game cartridge from the 1990s handheld console. These files are not meant to be edited but "played" via emulation software like RetroArch or Kega Fusion. Users often struggle because standard media players cannot recognize binary ROM dumps. For archiving, these are often converted to ZIP or 7Z to save space, or converted to other emulator-specific formats like BIN.
Finally, visual novel fans may encounter .gg files as encrypted archives for the KiriKiri (KAG) engine. These are proprietary data packages often requiring specific extraction tools like GARbro to access the internal images and scripts. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the specific format type, view its contents, or convert it to a more accessible standard.

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 GG converter.
