Extract text from Unity scenes (LEVEL1)
To convert LEVEL1 Scenes to another format, you need Unity or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Level Data File" file type, you need software like Unity or a similar tool.
The .level1 file is a proprietary scene or level data file primarily used by the Unity game engine, and occasionally associated with specific PC games like The Talos Principle. It stores level geometry setups, physics rules, object placements, and complex asset references. You typically open and edit these files using the Unity Editor (Wikipedia) or specialized game modding software.
The major disadvantage of the .level1 format is that it relies entirely on its surrounding project hierarchy. It is not a standalone 3D model; rather, it is a complex container of links to external textures, audio, and scripts. Opening it without the original project structure results in broken references and missing data. It is highly proprietary, requires a heavy software installation, and is not supported by web browsers or generic 3D viewers.
Users frequently need to extract geometry or layouts from these files into universal target formats like FBX, OBJ, or GLTF so they can be imported into Blender or Maya. However, doing so usually requires opening the file in Unity and using an explicit export plugin.
This file format is difficult to open or convert externally. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. Standard online converters fail because they cannot process the proprietary asset links. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LEVEL1 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LEVEL2, RESS, LEVEL0, ASSETS, LEVEL3, RESOURCE, GLOBALGAMEMANAGERS, DLL, LB, PROG and __DATA files.
If you want to convert LEVEL1 file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Unity or similar software from the "Game Engine Scene File" 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 LEVEL1, try Unity or another comparable tool in the "Game Engine Scene File" 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 LEVEL1 converter.
