Extract text from ID files
To convert your ID file to another format, you need HCL Notes or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "Cryptographic Key File" file type, you need software like HCL Notes or a similar tool.
The .id file extension primarily represents the Lotus Notes User ID (now HCL Notes), a critical security file containing a user's digital identity, private/public keys, and password hashes. While essential for accessing encrypted HCL Notes databases (Note Storage Facility), this format presents significant challenges: it is a proprietary, binary-encrypted container that cannot be opened in standard text editors, it has strict expiration dates that lock users out, and it tethers organizations to legacy infrastructure. Users typically need to handle these files during system migrations - specifically when moving from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Outlook.
To break free from this ecosystem, the .id file is used to authorize the conversion of the associated email database to PST for Outlook or MBOX for general archival. For the ID file itself, IT administrators often need to extract the embedded certificates, converting them to standard PEM, CER, or TXT formats for use with modern security protocols or for auditing purposes. Less commonly, a .id file may be a temporary reference file created by SOLIDWORKS or a map index for MapInfo.
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 HCL Notes or similar software from the "User Identity & Authentication" 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 HCL Notes or another comparable tool in the "User Identity & Authentication" 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.
