Extract text from GTT files
To convert your GTT file to another format, you need Garmin BaseCamp or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Localization & Pattern File" file type, you need software like Garmin BaseCamp or a similar tool.
The .GTT extension typically designates a Garmin Text Translation file, a structured XML document used to localize the user interface on Garmin GPS devices. These files map internal system commands to human-readable strings. The primary friction for users is that while the file is technically text-based, the raw XML syntax is cluttered and fragile; a single misplaced tag can corrupt the language file on the device. Users frequently need to convert .GTT to cleaner XML or TXT formats to safely modify translations or fix display errors using standard editors like Notepad++.
Alternatively, a .GTT file may be a weaving draft created by Guntram's Tabletweaving Thingy, a niche tool for textile design. The challenge here is accessibility; the format is tied to specific, older software. To make these patterns useful for actual weaving or sharing with others who lack the software, users should convert them to PDF for printing or PNG for digital viewing. In rare legacy gaming contexts (e.g., Knight Online), .GTT files serve as ground textures, though these are proprietary and resistant to standard conversion.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GTT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SVY, QDC, QCC, TSP and MG files.
If you want to convert GTT file to TSP, MG, TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD or MARKDOWN, you can use Garmin BaseCamp or similar software from the "Localization Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to GTT, try Garmin BaseCamp or another comparable tool in the "Localization Data Storage" 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 GTT converter.
