About HED files
HED files are a lesser-known file type primarily used for data storage in various software applications. These files often serve as header files, containing metadata or configuration information essential for the corresponding application. However, due to their specialized nature, converting HED files can be challenging, primarily because they are not standardized and are often application-specific.
When considering conversion options for HED files, it's important to identify the target format. Common formats that HED files might be converted to include .TXT for text-based metadata, .XML for structured data, or .CSV when dealing with tabular data. For image-related HED files, converting to .JPEG or .PNG might be necessary.
Software such as GIMP and Adobe Photoshop can be used for image-related HED conversions. On the other hand, text editors like Notepad++ or Sublime Text can assist in viewing or converting text-based HED files
Despite these options, the conversion process can be cumbersome due to compatibility issues or data integrity concerns. This is where Convert.Guru stands out as a reliable, user-friendly solution. By simply dragging and dropping your HED files onto our
The HED Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best HED converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
