Extract text from LevelDB manifest files (MANIFEST-000001)
To convert MANIFEST-000001 Manifest files to another format, you need Google LevelDB or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "LevelDB Metadata File" file type, you need software like Google LevelDB or a similar tool.
The .manifest-000001 file is an internal metadata log used primarily by Google LevelDB. It tracks the state of the database, specifically recording which SST (Sorted String Table) files are active and what storage levels they belong to. You will typically find this file inside local application data folders, Google Chrome profile directories, or Electron-based desktop applications that use IndexedDB for offline storage.
Users often encounter this file when trying to recover data or inspect browser cache. The main disadvantage of the .manifest-000001 format is that it is proprietary and highly specific to the LevelDB engine. It does not contain the actual user data; it only holds structural pointers. It cannot be opened by standard database viewers like SQLite, and opening it in a text editor will display unreadable binary data.
When trying to recover data, users usually want to convert the database contents to CSV or JSON. However, this file format is difficult to open or convert because standard online converters fail to process it. A standalone .manifest-000001 file is useless without the accompanying ldb and log files in the same directory. Often only the original software or specialized programming libraries can properly read or export the data. We can inspect the file and show embedded text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying format, viewing or extracting partial data may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MANIFEST-000001 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LDB, LOG, CURRENT, OLD, MANIFEST, LOCK, MANIFEST-000002 and NAMES files.

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 MANIFEST-000001 converter.
