Extract text from MTG Arena assets (MTGA)
To convert MTGA assets to another format, you need Magic: The Gathering Arena or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Unity Asset Bundle" file type, you need software like Magic: The Gathering Arena or a similar tool.
The .MTGA file is a proprietary game asset container used exclusively by Magic: The Gathering Arena (MTG Arena). Most of these files are built using the UnityFS format, holding game textures, 3D models, and animations used during gameplay. A smaller portion of these files are plain JSON documents storing card data or game logic, or specialized audio packages containing sound effects and voice lines.
These files are not meant to be opened by regular users. Because they are packaged specifically for the Unity game engine, standard image viewers or media players cannot read them. This proprietary packaging locks the media inside. You cannot simply view card art or listen to sounds without extracting the contents first. Modders and data miners often use third-party tools like AssetStudio to unpack the UnityFS structures.
If you need to access the art or audio, you must convert or extract the .MTGA file into standard formats. Visual assets extract best to PNG or TGA, while audio usually converts to WAV or MP3. Text data inside JSON-based .MTGA files can be read as TXT or JSON. Extracting these files often removes the game-specific metadata and breaks the structure needed to load them back into the game seamlessly.
This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert because standard online converters do not parse Unity asset bundles. The original game client is the only official software designed to read the data correctly. If our analysis detects standard plain text or a supported embedded format, viewing or extraction is fast and secure.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MTGA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 MTGA converter.
