About LNG files
A .LNG file is a localization file used to translate software interfaces into different languages. Applications like WinRAR, uTorrent, and ImgBurn use these files to store translated text for menus, buttons, and dialog boxes. The biggest disadvantage of the .LNG format is its complete lack of standardization. Every software developer structures it differently. While many are simple text files encoded in UTF-8 or UTF-16, others are compiled executable resources, proprietary binaries, or renamed ZIP archives (like the ones uTorrent uses). This makes them unpredictable; you cannot simply double-click an unknown .LNG file and expect it to open cleanly. For translation and editing, convert text-based .LNG files to CSV or TXT to easily manage strings in a spreadsheet. If the file is an archive, convert it to a standard ZIP to access the underlying assets. Drop your file here to view, analyze, and convert it securely right in your browser.

The LNG Converter Story
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 LNG converter.
