Extract text from Game archive files (KOM)
To convert KOM Game archives to another format, you need Grand Chase or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Resource Archive" file type, you need software like Grand Chase or a similar tool.
The .KOM file format acts as a proprietary game resource archive container. It is primarily used by KOG Studios for titles like Grand Chase and Elsword, and occasionally by Konami for Pro Evolution Soccer (eFootball) assets. These files bundle essential game data, including 3D models, UI textures, audio tracks, and execution scripts, into a single massive file.
The main disadvantage of the .KOM format is its closed, undocumented nature. Because it relies on proprietary compression algorithms and varying levels of encryption, standard archive utilities like 7-Zip or WinRAR cannot open or extract these files. Game developers design these archives specifically to prevent players from data mining, cheating, or modifying core assets. For modders and researchers, this creates a frustrating barrier, requiring specialized, community-built extraction scripts (such as those used with QuickBMS) to access the internal content.
Converting a .KOM file essentially means extracting its internal assets to standard formats. Users typically want to pull out PNG or DDS files for textures, WAV or OGG for audio, and OBJ for 3D models. Repacking these files back into a custom .KOM file is highly risky and often triggers online game anti-cheat systems, leading to account bans.
Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, standard online converters fail completely. Often only the original game engine can properly read the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded multimedia format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KOM 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 KOM converter.
