About HAT files
The .hat file extension is most commonly a VPN tunnel configuration file used by HA Tunnel Plus, a popular Android VPN client developed by Art Of Tunnel. These files store custom routing rules, SSH server settings, and injected payloads that allow users to bypass network restrictions or firewalls. A secondary, less common use for the .hat extension is in gaming - specifically as a raw game save file for the 3D platformer A Hat in Time by Gears for Breakfast, or as a custom hat texture for Duck Game.
The main disadvantage of the HA Tunnel Plus .hat format is its proprietary and closed nature. File creators frequently lock and encrypt these files to prevent users from viewing or stealing custom payload configurations. This restriction means you cannot natively open a protected .hat file in a standard text editor to check the server IP, port, or SNI details. Users are inherently locked into the Android ecosystem and forced to use one specific mobile app to utilize the configuration.
Because of these rigid limitations, users frequently need to convert or extract the data inside a .hat file. To view the raw payload, SSH credentials, or debug connection issues, the file must be decrypted and converted to TXT or JSON. If you need to migrate the configuration to another tunneling app, you must extract the raw text parameters. For gaming .hat files, modifying the save data requires converting to ZIP or raw text for hexadecimal editing. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser.
Convert.Guru analyzes your HAT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert HAT file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use HA Tunnel Plus or similar software from the "VPN Tunnel Configuration" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

The HAT 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 HAT converter.
