To convert other file formats to the "Game Save Data" file type, you need software like Glk Interpreters or a similar tool.
About GLKDATA files
A .glkdata file functions primarily as an interactive fiction game data container or a save file for mobile games like Fallout Shelter. In other contexts, it is used by Glück photo software as a photo book project image or by Geologik geoLOG software as a geological log image data file. These files are highly proprietary and explicitly designed to lock your data into a specific software ecosystem. When used for games, the data is stored in a closed binary format that requires the original game engine or a Glk API interpreter to open. When used by Glück or Geologik, the files are often just standard JPG or PNG images with a changed file extension to prevent you from using free tools like GIMP or Paint.NET. This artificial limitation forces you to rely on their specific, often expensive, software to view your own images. If your file contains image data, the best target formats are JPG or PNG, which are universally supported by web browsers and image editors. Because the .glkdata extension is shared among completely different and unrelated programs, it is notoriously difficult for standard online converters to process. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the game save data. Our deep analysis can detect if the file contains a supported underlying or embedded format, like a hidden photo, making viewing or extraction possible without the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GLKDATA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert GLKDATA file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Glk Interpreters or similar software from the "Interactive Fiction Game Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to GLKDATA, try Glk Interpreters or another comparable tool in the "Interactive Fiction Game Data" category.
The GLKDATA 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 GLKDATA converter.
