About PGC files

A .pgc file is primarily a custom-format database dump created by the PostgreSQL pg_dump command-line utility. It contains a compressed binary snapshot of a database structure and its contents. Other variations include PGP guarded encrypted files created by PGP Corporation, digital pen data from Anoto, and HP Photosmart picture cache files. The main disadvantage of a PostgreSQL .pgc file is its proprietary binary format. It is completely unreadable in standard text editors and requires a working PostgreSQL server setup alongside the pg_restore tool to extract data. This makes sharing database records with non-technical users or migrating to different environments extremely difficult. For broad compatibility, convert your .pgc backup to a plain text SQL file, which can be easily audited, edited, or migrated to other database systems like MySQL. If you only need the raw data, convert it to CSV or JSON for seamless integration into Microsoft Excel or modern web applications. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software on convert.guru.

The PGC Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database.

Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our PGC converter.
