Extract text from Lotus Notes and SOLIDWORKS files (ID)
To convert ID files to another format, you need IBM Lotus Notes or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "Security Identity File" file type, you need software like IBM Lotus Notes or a similar tool.
The .id file primarily functions as an IBM Lotus Notes User ID file. It stores a user's digital identity, including cryptographic keys, certificates, and passwords required to authenticate and access a Lotus Domino server. Other software also uses the .id extension for entirely different purposes: SOLIDWORKS generates them as temporary part data or license checks, OpenSSH uses them for private identity keys, and games like Star Citizen use them to store build manifests in a JSON structure.
The main disadvantage of .id files is their heavily fragmented, proprietary nature. A Lotus Notes .id file is a strongly encrypted binary blob that requires the exact password and a heavy, paid enterprise ecosystem to open. It is completely unreadable to standard software and web browsers. Similarly, SOLIDWORKS .id files act as system lock files that often get orphaned and clutter your hard drive without offering readable data.
Conversion options depend strictly on the file's origin. True conversion of an encrypted security token to a document format like PDF is mathematically impossible. However, if your file is an OpenSSH identity key, convert it to PEM or PPK for better compatibility with terminal clients. For Star Citizen build manifests, convert to JSON or TXT to view and edit the text. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ID file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MAP, LD, IDS, JPG, PDF, JPEG, IND, INDD, DOCX, BIN, CPG, WEBARCHIVE and PNG files.
If you want to convert ID file to PDF, MYR, RM, TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART or DOWNLOAD, you can use IBM Lotus Notes or similar software from the "User Identity Security Token" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to ID, try IBM Lotus Notes or another comparable tool in the "User Identity Security Token" category.
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 ID converter.
