About LILY files
The .LILY file is a specialized configuration document created by the LilyPad plugin for the PCSX2 PlayStation 2 emulator. These files store crucial customized game controller settings, key bindings, and button mappings for various input devices, including keyboards, mice, and gamepads like the DualShock 3 or Xbox 360 controllers. They are designed exclusively to be read by the emulator software.
Because this is a proprietary, closed settings format, it suffers from severe compatibility limits. You cannot simply open a .LILY file on a smartphone, a standard web browser, or modern word processors. Sharing customized controller layouts between different machines or emulator setups can be highly frustrating if the other user does not have the exact same hardware and plugin version. Standard online converters fail to process these files because they are tightly coupled with the emulator's internal logic rather than standard document or media standards.
Converting a .LILY file to a standard text format like TXT, INI, or JSON makes the raw configuration code readable outside of the emulator environment.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LILY file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The LILY Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database.

Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LILY converter.
