Extract text from Android device ID files (PUSH_DEVICEID)
To convert PUSH_DEVICEID Device ID files to another format, you need Android OS or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "Device Configuration File" file type, you need software like Android OS or a similar tool.
The .push_deviceid file is an Android Device Identification File created by Google for the Android operating system. It stores a unique identifier token. Android uses this token to route push notifications to a specific device via services like Firebase Cloud Messaging. You will typically only see this file if you are exploring internal app data, rooting a phone, or extracting an Android backup.
Because this is an internal system file, it has no standard viewer. It cannot be opened by web browsers. The file often lacks a clear structure, meaning standard text editors might show garbled text if the token is saved in a custom binary format. Removing or altering this file can permanently break notifications for specific apps.
You do not normally need to convert a .push_deviceid file. However, developers or advanced users often want to extract the device token into a standard TXT file for debugging push notification failures.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a proprietary system record, not a document or media file. Standard online converters fail to process it because they look for standard file headers. If our analysis detects a supported underlying plain text token embedded inside, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PUSH_DEVICEID 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 PUSH_DEVICEID converter.
