Extract text from Backups and CAD drawings (GRM)
To convert GRM files to another format, you need Microsoft SQL Server or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Financial Database Archive" file type, you need software like Microsoft SQL Server or a similar tool.
The .GRM file extension serves as a confusing container for at least three completely unrelated data formats, making it a frequent source of user frustration. Its most significant use (approx. 15%) is as a proprietary database backup for Nagy Sándor (NS) accounting software, often encapsulating a Microsoft SQL Server dump. These files are effectively "locked boxes" - you cannot simply open them in Excel; they typically require the original Hungarian accounting environment to restore and view the ledger data.
Another common variant (10%) is a CAD reinforcement drawing created by Graitec Advance Concrete. These are vector-based technical drawings used in structural engineering. Since Graitec has evolved its software suite, legacy .GRM files often suffer from compatibility rot, refusing to open in modern BIM tools like Autodesk Revit or standard viewers. Finally, users may encounter .GRM files as personal finance report templates from MyMoney.net software, which are essentially renamed ZIP archives.
Because these files are so distinct, the first step is identification. For NS backups, the practical goal is extracting data to CSV or XLSX for use in modern spreadsheets. For Graitec drawings, users typically need to convert to PDF for easy viewing or DXF to import into current CAD software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GRM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BRI, LBF and MIG files.

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 GRM converter.
