About GUIDE files

The .guide file extension is most commonly associated with Readdle Documents, where it functions as a packaged user guide document for iOS. Internally, these modern files are standard ZIP archives containing HTML, images, and text. Alternatively, it serves as a legacy hypertext documentation format for the Commodore Amiga system, known as AmigaGuide, or as text-based game installation instructions distributed by WORLDOFPCGAMES. Users need to convert .guide files because they are tied to restricted software ecosystems. Readdle Docs guides are designed exclusively for mobile iOS viewing and require a proprietary app to display correctly. AmigaGuide files are obsolete and completely unsupported by modern web browsers natively. These limitations trap critical documentation inside formats that cannot be easily shared or viewed on a standard Windows or Mac PC. The best conversion targets for Readdle guides are standard ZIP files (to extract internal web assets) or PDF documents for easy sharing. AmigaGuide files are best converted to standard TXT or HTML, though some legacy hypertext linking features may be lost in the process. Opening or converting a .guide file is notoriously difficult because standard online converters fail to recognize the disparate use cases - ranging from modern iOS app archives to 1990s Amiga hypertext. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru is the pragmatic workaround. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view its internal contents, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying ZIP archive or embedded text structure, viewing or conversion may still be possible, bypassing the original software restrictions completely.

Convert.Guru analyzes your GUIDE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted TEXI, QCH and RST files.
