Extract text from Flash game archives (SAF)
To convert SAF archives to another format, you need Flashpoint or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Archive & Audio" file type, you need software like Flashpoint or a similar tool.
The .SAF file extension is notoriously fragmented and acts as a "chameleon" format used by entirely disconnected software applications. Its most common use is as a Flash Game Archive created by PopCap Games and preserved by the Flashpoint project. It is also heavily used as a Saints Row Audio File developed by Volition Inc, which stores in-game sound effects and dialog using a modified RIFF container. Other significant variations include legacy Street Atlas GPS files by DeLorme (structured as Microsoft Compound files), Oracle Siebel CRM attachment files, and SESAME Seismological ASCII data.
The main disadvantage of .SAF files is their sheer ambiguity. You cannot easily tell what data is inside just by looking at the extension. Opening these files natively is incredibly frustrating because the original software - such as Adobe Flash or DeLorme Street Atlas - is obsolete, discontinued, or requires expensive enterprise licenses like Oracle Siebel. Furthermore, audio files from Saints Row use custom headers that standard media players will instantly reject.
To make this data usable, conversion or extraction is strictly necessary. For game audio, convert .SAF to MP3 or WAV so you can play the sounds on modern devices. For Siebel CRM attachments or seismological data, convert to standard TXT or CSV for readable archiving. If you are dealing with a game archive, extract the contents into a universal ZIP file. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software. Convert.guru will identify the actual file signature and offer the best realistic conversion options for your specific file.

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 SAF converter.
