Extract text from RELOC files
To convert your RELOC file to another format, you need Visual Studio or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "PE Base Relocation Table" file type, you need software like Visual Studio or a similar tool.
A .reloc file generally represents the Base Relocation Table found within Microsoft Windows Portable Executable (PE) formats, such as EXE and DLL files. This system data allows the Windows Loader to safely move a program to a different memory address at runtime - a critical security feature for Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).
Because .reloc data is binary machine code intended strictly for the operating system's kernel, it is completely unreadable to standard text editors and cannot be opened by consumer software. Users typically encounter these files as build artifacts generated by compilers like Visual Studio or when extracting sections from malware during reverse engineering. The primary challenge is that this raw data is useless without context. To make sense of it, you must convert the binary stream into a human-readable Hex Dump or Text report. For developers optimizing file size, the goal is often to "strip" this section entirely (converting the binary to a fixed-base executable), though this reduces security compliance.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RELOC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TEXT, DATA, RDATA, EXE, DLL, JPG, ZIP, VAL and DEBUG files.
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 RELOC converter.
