Extract text from Game texture assets (TEXTURE)
To convert TEXTURE Textures to another format, you need XnView or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Texture File" file type, you need software like XnView or a similar tool.
A .texture file is a graphics asset used by various 3D video game engines to skin 3D models. It is heavily utilized in games like PAYDAY 2 (using Overkill Software's Diesel engine), Medieval II: Total War, Trainz Simulator, and Diablo II: Resurrected. In most cases, a .texture file is not a uniquely engineered image format; it is simply a standard DirectDraw Surface (DDS) or Portable Network Graphics (PNG) file that developers renamed to integrate seamlessly with their specific game engine architecture.
Opening a .texture file directly is frustrating because standard desktop image viewers do not recognize the extension. You cannot open it in standard web browsers, basic OS preview tools, or standard graphic suites without plugins. Because the format is highly specific to the game engine (like Unity, MT Framework, or Auran Trainz), header data might be slightly modified, requiring specialized community modding tools to extract the raw image. To view or edit these textures for game modding, you typically need to guess the underlying format, rename the extension to DDS, and use specialized multi-format viewers like XnView or GIMP.
If you want to view, edit, or share a .texture file outside of its native game environment, you must convert it. Drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser. For web sharing or general viewing, convert it to PNG or JPG. If you are a modder who needs to edit the file and put it back into the game, convert it to DDS to preserve mipmaps and texture compression structures before importing it into an editor like Paint.NET. Keep in mind that converting to standard web formats will strip out any game-specific header data and alpha-channel mipmaps.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TEXTURE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TEXTURE2D, TEX, PNG, DDS, JPG, TEXTURES, TEXTUREMAP, MATERIAL, TXTREE, ASTC, ZIP, TGA and WEBP files.
If you want to convert TEXTURE file to PBR, DDS, JPG, PDF, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO or CUR, you can use XnView or similar software from the "Game Texture Asset Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to TEXTURE, try XnView or another comparable tool in the "Game Texture Asset 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 TEXTURE converter.
