About SIA files
The .SIA file format is primarily a proprietary 3D model and asset container used by Football Manager and COLOPL mobile games. These files store compiled game assets such as 3D player meshes, stadium geometry, and user interface elements. The main disadvantage of the .SIA format is that it is a closed, proprietary file type. It is strictly designed to be read by the game engine, not by standard 3D modeling software like Blender or Autodesk Maya. Users cannot simply double-click these files to view them. They are undocumented and often compressed to save disk space and prevent unauthorized modifications. Modders often want to convert .SIA files to standard 3D formats like OBJ or FBX, or extract internal textures as PNG or DDS. However, standard online converters fail to process them because the data structures are heavily customized for the specific game version. Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, you usually need community-built extraction scripts or the original developer tools to export the data. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our analysis tools can inspect the .SIA file and show text or internal headers. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SIA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SRD, C4D, DMZ and MQOZ files.

The SIA 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 SIA converter.
