Extract text from TLG files
To convert your TLG file to another format, you need QuickBooks Desktop or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Transaction Log & Graphic" file type, you need software like QuickBooks Desktop or a similar tool.
The .TLG extension is a multi-purpose container primarily associated with three distinct environments: QuickBooks financial data, Interactive Brokers trading reports, and KiriKiri game engine graphics.
For QuickBooks users, the .TLG file is a Transaction Log that automatically records every change made to the company file (.QBW). While critical for data recovery in the event of corruption, these files are proprietary and cannot be opened manually. A common issue is that .TLG files can grow larger than the actual database if a backup is not performed regularly, consuming disk space. To make this data readable or to reset the file size, users typically must run a backup within QuickBooks Desktop or use specialized recovery tools to extract data to Excel or CSV.
In the context of visual novels and games, a .TLG file is a specialized bitmap image formatted for the KiriKiri Adventure Game System. These files (often TLG5 or TLG6 variants) use advanced compression that standard viewers like Windows Photo Viewer or Mac Preview cannot render. Users extracting assets from game archives often find they cannot view the character art or backgrounds. The ideal solution is converting these .TLG graphics to standard PNG or JPG formats for easy editing and sharing.
Finally, for traders using Interactive Brokers, the file serves as a trade log activity report. These are text-heavy audit trails that are best converted to PDF for archiving or CSV for analysis in spreadsheet software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TLG 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 TLG converter.
