About SEQ files

The .SEQ extension is a chameleon in the digital world, primarily representing two distinct data types: DNA/RNA nucleotide sequences used in bioinformatics, or raw video image sequences generated by high-speed industrial cameras and thermal imaging software.

For scientists and researchers, .SEQ files often contain raw genetic code. The biggest obstacle here is the lack of standardization; while many are simple text files, others use legacy or proprietary formatting that modern sequencing tools like QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench or SnapGene may struggle to parse automatically. Users frequently need to convert these into the industry-standard FASTA or GB (GenBank) formats to enable alignment, annotation, and sharing across databases like NCBI.

In the realm of industrial imaging, software like StreamPix by NorPix or FLIR ResearchIR creates .SEQ files to store high-bandwidth, uncompressed video streams. These files can be massive - often exceeding gigabytes in size - and are completely incompatible with standard media players like Windows Media Player or QuickTime. To make this footage usable for presentations, web sharing, or archiving, it is essential to convert these raw sequences into compressed formats like MP4, AVI, or MOV.

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

Users also converted AB1, SEQUENCE, FASTA, ZIP, TXT, MID, PDF, DAT, MP3, SEC, OPJU, KRA and ACSM files.



The SEQ 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 SEQ converter.
