Click the "Select File" button above, and choose your RELOC file.
You’ll see a preview, if available.

Convert RELOC to another file type
To convert RELOC Relocation files to another format, you need Microsoft Visual Studio or other Developer software.
Convert a file to RELOC
To convert other file formats to the "PE Base Relocation Table" file type, you need software like Microsoft Visual Studio or a similar tool.
About RELOC files
A .RELOC file typically contains PE base relocation data used by the Windows memory loader. When developers compile source code into an executable or a library, the linker assumes the file will load at a specific memory address. If that preferred address is already occupied, Windows uses the relocation table inside the .RELOC section to patch the hardcoded memory addresses so the program can run safely. These files or extracted sections are deeply tied to the Windows PE (Portable Executable) architecture and are often analyzed using reverse engineering tools like IDA Pro or decompilers for the .NET Framework. The primary disadvantage of a standalone .RELOC file is that it is purely internal binary data. It has no media, no standard text, and is entirely useless to the average computer user. Opening these files requires specialized developer knowledge and tools. They cannot be opened by standard text editors or web browsers without displaying scrambled characters. Because this is a highly specific, proprietary system format, standard online converters fail to process it. You cannot convert memory pointers into a PDF or an image. The most logical conversion targets are .TXT for a hex dump, .ASM for disassembled instructions, or .BIN for raw binary extraction. However, translating this file usually requires the original parent executable to provide structural context. If our analysis detects a supported underlying format or plain text remnants, viewing or partial conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RELOC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert RELOC file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Microsoft Visual Studio or similar software from the "Memory Address Relocation Table" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to RELOC, try Microsoft Visual Studio or another comparable tool in the "Memory Address Relocation Table" category.
The RELOC 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 RELOC converter.
