Extract text from LDB files
To convert your LDB file to another format, you need Google_Chrome or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Key-Value Store" file type, you need software like Google_Chrome or a similar tool.
LDB files typically represent one of two very different formats, creating significant confusion for users. The most common variety is a LevelDB data file, a fast key-value storage format developed by Google and used extensively by Chromium-based browsers (like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge), Discord, and blockchain applications. These files often store local browsing history, extension data, or chat caches. They are binary and not human-readable, making it impossible to open them in a standard text editor like Notepad. To analyze this data - such as extracting chat logs or browser artifacts - you need to convert the .LDB (often found alongside LOG and LOCK files) into structured formats like JSON or CSV.
The second common type is the Microsoft Access Record-Locking Information file. When you open a MDB or ACCDB database in Microsoft Access, the software automatically generates a .LDB file to prevent multiple users from changing the same record simultaneously. A frequent difficulty occurs when users attempt to "open" or "convert" this file thinking it contains their actual database content. It does not; it only contains the computer names of currently connected users. For Access files, conversion is generally not possible or necessary, as the file should simply be deleted (if persistent after closing) or viewed in a text editor to identify who is locking the database.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LDB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted IDB, LOG, CURRENT, MANIFEST-000001, MDB, OLD, LBD, DB, TXT, ZIP, LDP, DAT and LOCK files.
If you want to convert LDB file to TXT, MDB, JSON, DB, TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW or PART, you can use Google_Chrome or similar software from the "LevelDB Data Storage" 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 LDB, try Google_Chrome or another comparable tool in the "LevelDB Data Storage" 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 LDB converter.
