Extract text from Graph and animation files (PFG)
To convert PFG Data files to another format, you need ToolsTalk or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Industrial Trace Data" file type, you need software like ToolsTalk or a similar tool.
The .PFG extension primarily identifies a Power Focus Graph file generated by Atlas Copco industrial tightening controllers. These files store critical trace data - specifically torque and angle curves - recorded during assembly processes. While essential for quality assurance and identifying tightening anomalies, the raw .PFG format is proprietary and difficult to analyze outside of the Atlas Copco ToolsTalk ecosystem. Engineers often struggle with these files because they are not natively readable by standard spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, forcing users to rely on specific vendor viewers or expensive logging software.
For data analysis, the best workflow is converting .PFG trace data to CSV or XLSX, allowing you to graph torque curves in Excel or import them into SQL databases. A secondary, unrelated use of this extension is in legacy PopCap Games (e.g., Plants vs. Zombies), where .PFG serves as a compiled animation or texture definition file. These game assets are binary-encoded and inaccessible to standard image editors. Modders looking to extract game sprites should look to convert these files to PNG or GIF sequences.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PFG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, PNG, RAW, FSM and G1M files.
If you want to convert PFG file to , you can use ToolsTalk or similar software from the "Industrial Torque Data Log" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to PFG, try ToolsTalk or another comparable tool in the "Industrial Torque Data Log" category.
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 PFG converter.
