How to extract text from your HI file

  1. Click the "Select File" button above, and choose your HI file.
  2. You’ll see a preview, if available.
  3. Click the "Convert file to..." button to extract text information.

Convert HI to another file type

To convert HI interface files to another format, you need Glasgow Haskell Compiler or other Data software.

Convert a file to HI

To convert other file formats to the "Data or Compiled Interface" file type, you need software like Glasgow Haskell Compiler or a similar tool.


About HI files

The .HI file extension handles multiple unrelated formats, causing frequent compatibility issues. Its most common use is as a Hindi language text data file used in Natural Language Processing (NLP) datasets or Hindi word processors. Alternatively, developers encounter .HI files as compiled interface files generated by the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC). These Haskell files contain binary machine-level symbol tables, making them unreadable to humans and tightly locked to the specific GHC version that compiled them. Other variations include temporary data recovery scan results from Aidfile Recovery Software, hidden JPG Android gallery image thumbnails on Samsung devices, and high-score records for the MAME arcade emulator. Because these files are proprietary, obscure, or binary-encoded, users struggle to read or reuse them. You must convert these files to standardized formats to extract their contents. For NLP data, convert to TXT or CSV for universal text editing. If it is an Android thumbnail, convert it to standard JPG or WEBP for web use.

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

Users also converted 265, VCF, XVG and DOT files.


FAQ

If you want to convert HI file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Glasgow Haskell Compiler or similar software from the "Hindi Text or Haskell Interface" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to HI, try Glasgow Haskell Compiler or another comparable tool in the "Hindi Text or Haskell Interface" category.



The HI 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 HI converter.
