Extract text from Heroes of the Storm replays (STORMREPLAY)
To convert STORMREPLAY replays to another format, you need Heroes of the Storm or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Replay File" file type, you need software like Heroes of the Storm or a similar tool.
The .stormreplay file is a proprietary replay format used by Heroes of the Storm, a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. Instead of storing actual video frames, this file records a highly compressed sequence of player inputs, coordinates, and game events.
This format is highly restricted. The biggest disadvantage is that you cannot open or play it without having the exact patch version of the Heroes of the Storm client installed. Furthermore, users frequently try to convert these files directly into MP4 or AVI to share on YouTube, only to realize that standard video converters cannot process them because they do not contain pixel data.
If you want a viewable video file, the only realistic workaround is to open the .stormreplay inside the game client and use screen recording software like OBS Studio to capture the playback as an MP4. If you are a developer or data analyst, you can parse the file into JSON or CSV formats using Blizzard's open-source heroprotocol tool to extract detailed player statistics and match data.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert online. Because it relies entirely on Blizzard's proprietary game engine to render the visual match, traditional online converters will fail completely. Our system will inspect the binary code to extract readable metadata, text strings, or embedded structural data, offering a pragmatic way to analyze your replay without booting up the game.
Convert.Guru analyzes your STORMREPLAY file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 STORMREPLAY converter.
