Convert Solidity source files (SOL) online for free
The converter easily converts your SOL Source files to various formats - free and online. No Solidity or other Data software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Flash LSO or Solidity Code" file type, you need software like Solidity or a similar tool.
The .sol file format serves two entirely different primary purposes. Historically, it was created by Adobe Flash Player as a Local Shared Object (LSO). Similar to a web browser cookie, these binary files stored user preferences, login data, and browser game saves (like Friday Night Funkin'). Today, .sol is far more commonly recognized as a Solidity Smart Contract file. Written in the object-oriented Solidity programming language, these files contain human-readable source code used to deploy smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain and EVM-compatible networks.
Both file types come with distinct real-world challenges. Flash .sol files are encoded in a proprietary binary Action Message Format (AMF), making them unreadable in standard text editors. Furthermore, because Flash was officially deprecated in 2020, modern browsers completely block it, making these files essentially dead weight unless you are using an emulator. They were also notoriously used as "supercookies" to track user data without consent. On the other hand, Solidity .sol files are simple plain text but cannot be executed directly; they must be compiled into machine-readable EVM bytecode and an Application Binary Interface (ABI) using specialized developer tools.
To safely extract data from an old Flash .sol save file, convert it to JSON or XML. For Solidity .sol files, you can easily convert them to PDF, TXT, or MD (Markdown) for sharing documentation, or compile them into BIN files for blockchain deployment. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software securely on convert.guru.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your SOL file.
Users also converted SOLDATA, TXT, ASOL, PAPA, PDF, ZIP, 1, JS, SAL, CDW, PNG, G3D and HAR files.
If you want to convert SOL file to BTC, INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV or PROPERTIES, you can use Solidity or similar software from the "Local Storage or Source Code" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to SOL, try Solidity or another comparable tool in the "Local Storage or Source Code" 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 SOL converter.
