The .MSL extension is a polysemic file type used by distinctly different industries, creating significant confusion for users trying to open them.
Most commonly, it serves as a Function Block Diagram project file for Segnetics SMLogix, used in industrial automation to program HVAC controllers. These files are proprietary and binary-encoded; they cannot be opened in text editors. Engineers often need to convert these project layouts into PDF for documentation or archiving, though this typically requires the generic "Print to PDF" function within the SMLogix environment.
In the automotive world, .MSL functions as a data log file for the MegaSquirt Engine Management System. These files record telemetry data (RPM, temperatures, O2 sensor readings) during engine tuning. The main issue is that raw .MSL logs are strictly formatted for viewing in TunerStudio, locking data away from standard analysis tools. Converting these logs to CSV or XLSX (Excel) is essential for users wanting to visualize performance data in spreadsheets or third-party graphing tools.
Legacy multimedia software from CyberLink and MAGIX also uses this extension for slideshow playlists. A critical misunderstanding is that these files contain the actual photos or video; they are merely small XML-based reference lists (under 100KB). You cannot "convert" them directly to MP4 or AVI without the original source images and the parent software installed. For text-based Magick Scripting Language files used by ImageMagick, users often convert to TXT to edit the script commands or process them into standard raster images like PNG or JPG.

Users also converted EML, MLS, MSG, MSI, EDMX, SDL, XSD, AGL and LAT 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 MSL converter.
