Extract text from Gerber or Unity files (GTS)
To convert GTS files to another format, you need Altium Designer or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "PCB Manufacturing Data" file type, you need software like Altium Designer or a similar tool.
The .GTS file extension is primarily used as a Gerber Top Solder Mask file in printed circuit board (PCB) design. It dictates the exact areas where a protective solder mask should be applied to the top layer of a board. However, .GTS files are also frequently used as Unity Engine Asset Bundles (often using the UnityFS format), which contain 3D models, textures, and other compiled game assets.
For PCB designs, you can open these files using Altium Designer, Autodesk EAGLE, or specialized Gerber format viewers. For Unity assets, developers rely on the Unity editor or community-built extraction utilities.
Users often need to convert .GTS files because the original formats are highly specialized. Gerber files are essentially raw manufacturing instructions not supported by standard image viewers, making them difficult to share with non-engineers or clients. Unity asset bundles are compiled archives; they lock assets inside a proprietary container, preventing direct access to the raw textures or 3D meshes. Standard extraction tools like WinRAR or 7-Zip will fail to open them.
The best target formats depend heavily on the file's origin. PCB .GTS files are best converted to PDF or SVG for easy visual sharing without losing vector precision. Unity .GTS assets should be unpacked into standard formats like OBJ or FBX for 3D meshes, and PNG for textures.
Because .GTS shares its extension across entirely different domains - from 2D CAD manufacturing data to proprietary game archives and even geotechnical models (like MIDAS GTS NX) - it can be confusing to process. Standard online converters frequently fail because they cannot guess the underlying data structure.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GTS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GTSE, DRL, GTL, GBS, GTO, GBR, GBL, PCB, ZIP, ENC, PCBDOC and SCHDOC files.
If you want to convert GTS file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Altium Designer or similar software from the "PCB Design & Game Assets" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to GTS, try Altium Designer or another comparable tool in the "PCB Design & Game Assets" category.
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 GTS converter.
