Extract text from Document files (GUIDE)
To convert GUIDE Documents to another format, you need Documents by Readdle or other Text software.
To convert other file formats to the "Documentation File" file type, you need software like Documents by Readdle or a similar tool.
A .GUIDE file usually falls into two distinct categories, both presenting significant compatibility hurdles on modern desktop systems. Most commonly, it is a proprietary documentation package used by the Readdle Documents app on iOS and macOS. These files are essentially renamed ZIP archives containing HTML, images, and XML data designed to display user manuals within the app. Users often struggle to open these on Windows or Linux because the operating system does not recognize the extension, effectively locking the content inside a mobile-centric ecosystem.
Alternatively, files with this extension may be legacy AmigaGuide hypertext documents. Developed by Commodore for the Amiga operating system, these are ASCII text files embedded with proprietary navigation commands - a precursor to modern HTML. Opening these on Windows 10/11 or macOS requires specialized emulators or obscure viewers like WinGuide.

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 GUIDE converter.
