Extract text from Password Depot Portable files (PSWX)
To convert PSWX password files to another format, you need Password Depot or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Encrypted Password File" file type, you need software like Password Depot or a similar tool.
The .PSWX file is an encrypted database used by Password Depot Portable, a password manager developed by AceBIT. These files store highly sensitive user credentials, software licenses, credit card details, and secure notes.
To open a .PSWX file, you must use Password Depot and supply the correct master password. Because this is a secure container, users often encounter major disadvantages when trying to migrate away from the AceBIT ecosystem. The proprietary format means you cannot directly open a .PSWX file in spreadsheet software, standard text editors, or web browsers. Vendor lock-in forces you to rely exclusively on their software to access your data.
If you are switching to a different password manager like KeePass or 1Password, you will need to convert the data to standard formats. The best conversion targets are CSV or XML. However, exporting to these formats removes all encryption, leaving your sensitive data exposed in plain text.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert externally. It is a closed, proprietary format secured by strong encryption (typically AES-256). Standard online converters fail to process it because the file payload is completely scrambled without the master decryption key. Only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects an unencrypted backup or a supported underlying embedded format, limited viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PSWX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert PSWX file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Password Depot or similar software from the "Encrypted Password Database Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to PSWX, try Password Depot or another comparable tool in the "Encrypted Password Database Storage" 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 PSWX converter.
