Extract text from Keyboard and mouse scripts (MACROS)
To convert MACROS Scripts to another format, you need A4Tech Bloody or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Hardware Macro Script" file type, you need software like A4Tech Bloody or a similar tool.
A .macros file contains automated sequences of keyboard strokes, mouse movements, and click events. Gamers and data entry workers use these files to execute complex, repetitive actions with a single button press. These scripts are most commonly created and read by gaming peripheral software like A4Tech Bloody or standalone automation tools like Jitbit Macro Recorder.
Users often need to convert .macros files when upgrading their hardware. For example, a player might want to move their favorite recoil-control script from an A4Tech mouse to a Logitech or Razer device. The massive disadvantage of the .macros format is that it is strictly proprietary. It is locked to the specific polling rates, sensor data, and software ecosystem of the manufacturer. Sharing or migrating these files is incredibly frustrating because they are usually saved as compiled binary files rather than human-readable text.
The most practical conversion targets for macro scripts are TXT, XML, or JSON, which allow users to read the delay timings and recreate the script in another program. Some users attempt to convert them to AMC or LUA for different macro engines. However, standard online converters fail completely because this is a closed, proprietary hardware format.
Because of these limitations, direct format-to-format conversion is rarely successful. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded text format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MACROS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted XLS, XLSM, XLSX, DOCX, ZIP, ZMS, ACTION, SCP, VBA and PYTHON files.
If you want to convert MACROS file to VBA, PYTHON, JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB or GO, you can use A4Tech Bloody or similar software from the "Keyboard and Mouse Macro Script" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to MACROS, try A4Tech Bloody or another comparable tool in the "Keyboard and Mouse Macro Script" 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 MACROS converter.
