Extract text from Task and download files (TDL)
To convert TDL files to another format, you need AbstractSpoon ToDoList or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Management File" file type, you need software like AbstractSpoon ToDoList or a similar tool.
The .TDL file format is primarily used as an XML-based task management project file by AbstractSpoon ToDoList. It stores hierarchical task data, completion statuses, and project metadata. Another frequent use is as a temporary, incomplete video download file generated by download managers like Xunlei Thunder or Total Downloader. Less commonly, it functions as an XML diagnostic data log for automotive tools like AutoTap.
Sharing .TDL files is highly impractical. Project stakeholders cannot natively open these task files without installing the dedicated ToDoList software. If the file is an incomplete video download, it is fundamentally broken, missing crucial index data, and cannot be played correctly in standard media browsers.
To share task lists reliably, you must convert the .TDL file to CSV, PDF, or XLSX. If you are dealing with an incomplete video, you might try renaming the extension to MP4 to salvage playable fragments, though corruption is highly likely and data loss is inevitable.
This file format is difficult to process because standard online converters lack the specific parsers needed to interpret niche software schemas or repair broken video headers.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TDL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TCP, JPG, JPEG, PDF, TXT, XML, PNG, TLD, TDS, DOCX, XLSX, XLS and CSV files.
If you want to convert TDL file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use AbstractSpoon ToDoList or similar software from the "Task Management & Incomplete Downloads" 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 TDL, try AbstractSpoon ToDoList or another comparable tool in the "Task Management & Incomplete Downloads" 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 TDL converter.
