About SSS files
The .sss extension is a classic example of a filename collision, utilized by completely unrelated software ecosystems ranging from gaming to industrial safety. Most commonly, this file represents a Shared Stash Save from the Project Diablo 2 (PD2) mod. These binary files act as a digital vault, storing item data shared across multiple characters. The main catch for gamers is that these files are strictly version-dependent and unreadable by standard text editors; opening them in the wrong mod version can corrupt years of loot. Outside of gaming, .sss files serve as proprietary data containers for Seaward PATGuard (Portable Appliance Testing) software and Laerdal Medical SimMan simulations. In these professional contexts, the file is a locked database of test results or simulation logs. Users rarely need the raw .sss file itself; instead, the goal is almost always to extract the data. For PD2, this means managing items via third-party tools; for PAT and medical users, the urgent need is converting these opaque logs into human-readable PDF reports or CSV spreadsheets for auditing and compliance.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SSS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SM, JPG, CFG, MA1, MA3, MA4 and HSS files.
The SSS 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 SSS converter.
