About PUD files

The .PUD file extension is primarily used for two entirely different purposes: Parrot Drone Product Usage Data files and Warcraft II Map files. Parrot drone .PUD files store flight telemetry, battery performance, and usage statistics collected by Parrot devices. Internally, these are structured JSON files. The main disadvantage is that raw JSON is highly nested and difficult for average users to read. Analyzing flight paths or hardware diagnostics usually requires converting this file to a structured spreadsheet format like CSV or XLSX. Conversely, a .PUD file can be a custom multiplayer scenario created for Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness by Blizzard Entertainment. These are proprietary, legacy binary files that store 2D terrain grids, unit coordinates, and game event triggers. They are completely locked to the legacy 1990s game engine or specific community map editors like War2xEd. If you need to extract data, standard online converters often fail to process .PUD files because they cannot differentiate between a plain-text drone log and a compiled binary game map. The Warcraft II map format is notoriously difficult to convert because only the original software can properly read or export the visual game data. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru can inspect the file, identify its internal structure, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects the supported underlying JSON drone format, viewing or conversion to common data formats is fully supported.

Convert.Guru analyzes your PUD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PUB, KDT, IMS and CY files.

The PUD Converter Story

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 PUD converter.
