Extract text from Custom platforms (PLAT)
To convert PLAT Platforms to another format, you need Beat Saber or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "VR Game Asset" file type, you need software like Beat Saber or a similar tool.
A .plat file is primarily a Custom Platform file used in the VR rhythm game Beat Saber. These files transform the player's virtual environment, replacing the default standing podium and surrounding geometry with custom 3D models.
Technically, a .plat file is a renamed Unity Asset Bundle. While this format is efficient for game loading, it poses significant friction for users attempting to view or edit the content outside the game. Because they are compiled binary files, you cannot simply open them in a text editor or standard 3D software like Blender directly. Furthermore, they are often version-sensitive; a platform built for an older version of Unity may break in newer updates of Beat Saber.
For users looking to modify or inspect these assets, the goal is typically extracting the underlying 3D mesh data. The best conversion targets are OBJ or FBX, which allow you to import the geometry into Blender or Autodesk Maya for editing. Conversely, creating a .plat file requires exporting from a Unity project using specific modding SDKs.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PLAT 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 PLAT converter.
