About GS files
A .GS file most commonly represents a Google Apps Script. These files contain JavaScript code used to automate operations across Google Workspace applications like Google Sheets, Docs, and Drive. Additionally, the .GS extension is heavily used in the gaming sector as an archive or script file for transport and train simulators, including OpenTTD and Trainz, as well as visualization scripts for the Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS). The primary disadvantage of a Google Apps Script .GS file is its cloud dependency. Because these files are natively hosted and executed within Google's ecosystem, editing them offline requires specialized CLI tools like clasp. For gamers, .GS simulator files act as proprietary archives that standard OS extraction tools cannot open natively, limiting modding and manual data retrieval. For local development, convert .GS scripts to JS or standard TXT. If you are handling a game archive, converting or unpacking it into a standard ZIP or RAR exposes the inner assets.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert GS file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Google Apps Script or similar software from the "Google Workspace Automation Script" 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 GS, try Google Apps Script or another comparable tool in the "Google Workspace Automation Script" category.
The GS 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 GS converter.
