About RECORD files

The .record file format primarily stores serialized data for the Apple CloudKit framework, retaining application state and user data within the Apple ecosystem. Alternatively, the extension is widely used by Auto.js on Android devices to save automated user action recordings, or by HT Dataloggers for tracking environmental humidity and temperature data. The main disadvantage of the .record format is its lack of standardization across different platforms. An Apple CloudKit .record file is typically a binary Property List (bplist), which is unreadable in standard text editors. An Auto.js file is structured as JSON but contains specific macro commands unique to that application's engine. Proprietary datalogger files use closed binary structures that require the original manufacturer's software. You usually want to convert these files to JSON, XML, CSV, or TXT to extract the raw data, though you will lose application-specific execution bindings. Because these files are often proprietary or environment-specific, standard online converters fail to process them. Emphasize that often only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your RECORD file.

The RECORD 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 RECORD converter.
