Extract text from Kaiser 2 saved games (K2S)
To convert K2S saved games to another format, you need Kaiser II or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Saved Game File" file type, you need software like Kaiser II or a similar tool.
The .k2s file format is a proprietary saved game file used by the classic simulation game Kaiser II, developed by Mantronic Software. It stores player progress, economic variables, and current world states.
Because this format is closed and proprietary, it comes with significant disadvantages. It requires the original game engine to load and parse the data correctly. You cannot natively view the file in web browsers or modern operating systems. Furthermore, it does not contain standard document or media data.
Users often attempt to convert or open .k2s files to migrate save files, modify variables, or recover old game data. However, standard online converters fail to process it because the data structure is undocumented. There are no practical conversion targets like PDF or JPG. The most realistic output is extracting raw text (TXT) or hexadecimal data for reverse engineering.
This file format is inherently difficult to open or convert, and often only the original software can properly read the game state. Our tool can inspect the file, display internal hex or text strings, and help you analyze the embedded data even when traditional conversion is impossible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your K2S file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MP4 files.

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 K2S converter.
