Convert RDB to another file type

To convert your RDB file to another format, you need Redis or other Database software.

Convert a file to RDB

To convert other file formats to the "Key-Value Store Dump" file type, you need software like Redis or a similar tool.

About RDB files

The .RDB extension primarily refers to the Redis Database Dump, a compact binary snapshot of an in-memory Redis key-value store. It captures the state of a database at a specific interval for backups or replication. A secondary but significant usage (approx. 25%) is for Siemens WinCC Process Archives, which often utilize SQLite engines to store industrial SCADA logs.

Users often deal with issues with .RDB files because they are binary and opaque - you cannot simply open them in a text editor to inspect data. For Redis users, analyzing memory usage or debugging specific keys without loading the entire dataset into a live server is a major challenge. Industrial users with Siemens files often face proprietary lock-in, needing to extract historical process data for compliance reporting without buying expensive HMI licenses.

Best Conversion Targets:

For Data Analysis & Debugging: Convert Redis dumps to JSON or CSV to make key-value pairs human-readable and searchable.
For Reporting: Convert Siemens/SCADA archives to XLSX (Excel) or CSV to generate charts and audit logs.
For Migration: Convert .RDB to SQL scripts to import data into relational systems like MySQL or PostgreSQL.

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

The RDB 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 RDB converter.
