About HID files

HID files, primarily associated with the proprietary format used for HighMAT metadata, can pose challenges in conversion due to their specialized nature. HighMAT, short for High Performance Media Access Technology, is a format developed by Microsoft and Panasonic for digital media storage, specifically used in older CD and DVD formats. This makes HID files relatively obscure in modern usage, which can present complications when trying to access or convert them.

Common file extensions to which HID files can be converted include .TXT, .XML, and .CSV. However, this conversion can often require specialized software or technical expertise. It is important to note that due to the proprietary nature of HID files, direct conversion might not always preserve the integrity of the data, and some metadata might be lost in the process.

To convert HID files on your computer, you might consider using software like Microsoft Office or Windows Media Player, though these tools may offer limited support. For more technical users, converting HID files to more accessible formats like XML or CSV might involve scripting or programming using languages like Python.

While HID files have their drawbacks - such as compatibility issues and potential data loss during conversion - using Convert.Guru can simplify the process. This user-friendly platform offers a free and reliable solution. We recommend dragging and dropping your HID files onto Convert.Guru to effortlessly convert them into various formats, ensuring ease of access and usability across different applications and devices.


The HID 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 HID converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
