Extract text from Kodu worlds (KODU2)
To convert KODU2 worlds to another format, you need Kodu Game Lab or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Saved Game World" file type, you need software like Kodu Game Lab or a similar tool.
KODU2 files are exported game worlds created with Microsoft Kodu Game Lab, an educational visual programming tool. A single .KODU2 file holds all the terrain data, 3D object placements, and tile-based scripts needed to run a specific level. Students and teachers typically export to this format to submit homework or share a single level instead of an entire multi-level project (which uses the older KODU extension).
However, the .KODU2 format is highly restrictive and presents several major disadvantages. It is a proprietary, closed-ecosystem archive that only Kodu Game Lab can execute. You cannot natively export these files as standalone executable programs (EXE) or easily port the 3D assets to standard modeling formats like OBJ or FBX. Users who want to share their gameplay as an MP4 video are often frustrated to learn they must rely on third-party screen recording software.
Because it relies entirely on the internal Kodu engine, standard online video or 3D converters fail to process it. Since .KODU2 files act as compressed containers holding raw configuration data and basic assets, our analysis tool can often peek inside to extract the underlying XML text logic or allow you to convert it into a standard ZIP archive to safely extract internal media.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KODU2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 KODU2 converter.
