Extract text from Skylanders data or presets (SKY)
To convert SKY data files to another format, you need Adobe Photoshop or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Application Data" file type, you need software like Adobe Photoshop or a similar tool.
The .SKY file extension is primarily associated with two vastly different use cases: Skylanders character data files used by Activision games, and Sky Replacement Presets used by Adobe Photoshop and Luminar. Less frequently, it functions as a set-top box firmware update, a Skype application data file, a plain-text XML mass spectrometry document in Skyline, or an ELF executable in the Contiki Operating System.
Users often face massive frustrations when dealing with .SKY files because they are highly proprietary, closed-format containers. A Photoshop sky preset, for instance, cannot be previewed in a web browser or standard image viewer - it requires a heavy, expensive software subscription to open. Similarly, Skylanders data files are raw NFC chip dumps that lock your gaming data into specific hardware and emulators.
Converting a .SKY file directly to standard formats like JPEG, PNG, or PDF is normally impossible with basic tools because the data is strictly application-specific binary code. Standard online converters fail entirely when attempting to process these proprietary files.
Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like the XML structure of a Skyline document - viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SKY file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SKYSHEET, MSKY, SKP, PDF, VTX, VTU and SAC files.
If you want to convert SKY file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Adobe Photoshop or similar software from the "Game Data or Graphics Preset" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to SKY, try Adobe Photoshop or another comparable tool in the "Game Data or Graphics Preset" category.
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 SKY converter.
