Convert a file to PWA
To convert other file formats to the "Password Manager Database" file type, you need software like Password Agent or a similar tool.
About PWA files
The .PWA file is a proprietary, encrypted database used primarily by password management applications. Its core function is securely storing login credentials, secure notes, and personal data for Moon Software Password Agent or PasswordWallet. These files rely on strong encryption standards like 256-bit AES to protect sensitive user data. However, the .PWA format comes with significant disadvantages. It is highly proprietary, locking users into specific software ecosystems. You cannot natively open .PWA files in web browsers or standard text editors. If the original software becomes obsolete or unsupported, your passwords remain trapped inside an inaccessible file. Users often need to convert .PWA files to standard formats like CSV, TXT, or XML to migrate their data to modern password managers like Bitwarden or 1Password. When converting to CSV, you must accept that your passwords will be exposed in plain text, completely losing their encryption. Because .PWA files are heavily encrypted, they are notoriously difficult to convert using third-party tools. Without the master password, the internal data is completely scrambled. Often, only the original software can properly decrypt and export the records. Standard online converters fail because they cannot bypass this security layer. If our analysis detects an unencrypted backup version or a supported underlying structure, viewing or partial conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PWA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert PWA file to APK, APP, IOS, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA or CAB, you can use Password Agent or similar software from the "Encrypted Password Database Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert XXE, 7Z, Z, PAK, LHA, DEB, UUE, TAR, LZH, ZIP, PKG or RAR files to PWA, try Password Agent or another comparable tool in the "Encrypted Password Database Storage" category.
The PWA 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 PWA converter.
