Extract text from S-record files (SREC)
To convert SREC files to another format, you need SRecord or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Firmware / Motion Capture File" file type, you need software like SRecord or a similar tool.
The .SREC file extension primarily belongs to the Motorola S-record format. This ASCII text format is used by developers to encode raw binary data for microcontroller firmware, EEPROM programming, and embedded systems. A secondary, less common use is for proprietary motion capture recordings generated by Rokoko Studio.
Opening and modifying .SREC firmware files usually requires command-line utilities like SRecord or standard text editors. Because they store binary data as plain ASCII text, firmware .SREC files suffer from significant file bloat, often taking up two to three times the storage space of the actual raw binary. They also lack native encryption, exposing your firmware code to anyone who opens the file. Rokoko motion capture .SREC files face different limits: they are entirely locked into the Rokoko ecosystem and cannot be opened natively by mainstream 3D software.
Conversion is almost always required to overcome these limits. For firmware, convert .SREC to BIN to strip the ASCII formatting and restore the raw, compact binary data. You can also convert to Intel HEX if your specific programmer hardware requires it. For Rokoko files, convert to FBX or BVH to import the animation data into standard 3D editors.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SREC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted S19, S37, HEX, MHX, ADC, TXT, BIN, ZIP and ELF files.
If you want to convert SREC file to BIN, HEX or ELF, you can use SRecord or similar software from the "Firmware Binary Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to SREC, try SRecord or another comparable tool in the "Firmware Binary Data Storage" 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 SREC converter.
