About HOME files

The .home file is a workspace archive generated by AWS Cloud9, a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE). It contains a complete backup or export of a developer's cloud coding environment, typically bundling source code, configuration files, and project folder structures. This format is highly specific to the AWS Cloud9 ecosystem. The primary disadvantage is that it is not natively recognized by standard desktop operating systems like Windows or macOS. Users downloading their workspace often face a proprietary extension that prevents immediate access to their local code files. Relying on an active Amazon Web Services account just to open the file severely limits offline productivity. To make the contents usable locally, users must extract or convert the .home file into standard archive formats like .ZIP or .TAR.GZ. This allows local editors to access the underlying .JS, .PY, or .HTML code. Because this file format is difficult to open or convert natively, users often struggle to recover their projects.

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

Users also converted FMW, WKS and STATE files.
