How to extract text from your TLS file
- Click the "Select File" button above, and choose your TLS file.
- You’ll see a preview, if available.
- Click the "Convert file to..." button to extract text information.
Convert TLS to another file type
To convert your TLS file to another format, you need Brinno Player or TLS Tunnel or other Video software.
- TLS to MP4
- TLS to PEM
- TLS to TMP
- TLS to TEMP
- TLS to CACHE
- TLS to LOG
- TLS to BAK
- TLS to OLD
- TLS to NEW
- TLS to PART
- TLS to DOWNLOAD
- TLS to CRDOWNLOAD
Convert a file to TLS
To convert other file formats to the "Time-Lapse Recording" file type, you need software like Brinno Player or TLS Tunnel or a similar tool.
- DEVICE to TLS
- CACHE to TLS
- SOCK to TLS
- SYMLINK to TLS
- PID to TLS
- MOUNT to TLS
- FIFO to TLS
- LOG to TLS
- PIPE to TLS
- TMP to TLS
- JUNCTION to TLS
- TEMP to TLS
About TLS files
The .tls extension is shared by three distinct formats, often causing confusion for users trying to open them.
- Brinno Time-Lapse Video: The most common media type is a raw video file created by Brinno cameras (like the TLC200). These files act as proprietary containers for AVI sequences. Constraints: Standard media players (like QuickTime on macOS) often fail to recognize the format, and they cannot be edited directly in software like Adobe Premiere Pro without conversion.
- Agisoft Tiled Model: In professional surveying, .tls files are Tiled Level-of-Detail archives generated by Agisoft Metashape. These large datasets contain 3D mesh pyramids used to display massive models efficiently. Constraints: They are strictly intermediate viewing formats for the Agisoft Viewer and cannot be imported directly into 3D tools like Blender or Maya without exporting to a standard format like OBJ or FBX.
- VPN Configuration: A significant portion of these files are configuration scripts for the TLS Tunnel Android app, used to bypass network restrictions. Constraints: These are small data files (text or binary) that cannot be "converted" to video or images; they must be imported directly into the VPN app.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TLS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TSL, JPG, XLS, TIFF, EHI, PDF, STL, JPEG, PNG, MP4, XLSX, ZIP and TSX files.
The TLS 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 TLS converter.
