Extract text from NOD files
To convert your NOD file to another format, you need NetObjects Fusion or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Web Project & Game AI" file type, you need software like NetObjects Fusion or a similar tool.
The .nod extension primarily refers to the NetObjects Fusion site project file, a proprietary format used to design and structure websites before they are published to the web. Unlike standard HTML files, a .nod file acts as a local database containing your site's architecture, asset references, text content, and layout settings. It is not a web page itself and cannot be opened by browsers like Chrome or Firefox. Users typically encounter these files when trying to recover legacy websites created in the early 2000s. A common issue is version lock-in: a .nod file created in NetObjects Fusion 7.5 may not open correctly in version 11 or 2015 without migration steps, and the software itself is now considered legacy. To "convert" this file, you must use NetObjects Fusion to "Publish" the project, which generates the standard HTML, CSS, and image files usable on the web.
Secondarily, .nod files are AI navigation graphs for the Valve GoldSrc engine (used in classic games like Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6). These binary files tell Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and bots how to navigate the map geometry. Modders and developers often need to edit these to fix bot pathing, requiring tools like the Valve Hammer Editor or specialized decompilers to convert the binary node data into readable text or viewable paths.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NOD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FCH, PACKAGE and ENGB files.
If you want to convert NOD file to HTML, HTM, CSS, JS, PHP, ASP, ASPX, JSP, JSPX, PY, RB or PL, you can use NetObjects Fusion or similar software from the "Website Project Source" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

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 NOD converter.
