About PCAP files

PCAP (Packet Capture) files are a type of network analysis file used to capture and analyze network traffic. They are commonly used by network administrators, security professionals, and developers to analyze network traffic and identify potential issues. PCAP files are typically stored in the libpcap format, which is a binary format used by many different network analysis programs. PCAP files can also be stored in the PCAPNG format, which is a newer, more efficient format.

PCAP files can be converted to other formats using a variety of software tools. Wireshark is a popular open source network analysis tool that can be used to convert PCAP files to other formats such as CSV, XML, and JSON. TCPDump is another popular open source network analysis tool that can be used to convert PCAP files to other formats such as PCAPNG, PCAP-Dump, and PCAP-Split.

When converting PCAP files, it is important to consider the size of the file and the format of the output. Large PCAP files can take a long time to convert and may require additional processing power. Additionally, the output format should be chosen carefully to ensure that the data can be properly analyzed.

PCAP files can be difficult to work with due to their large size and complex format. Additionally, they can be difficult to share due to their proprietary format. For these reasons, it is often preferable to convert PCAP files to more accessible formats such as CSV or JSON. For this reason, it is recommended to use the free and easy online website Convert.Guru to convert PCAP files.


The PCAP Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best PCAP converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
