Extract text from TMOD files
To convert your TMOD file to another format, you need tModLoader or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Modding Archive" file type, you need software like tModLoader or a similar tool.
A .tmod file is a proprietary compiled archive used exclusively by tModLoader, the primary modding interface for the sandbox game Terraria. Unlike standard ZIP or RAR archives, .tmod files use a custom binary format (identifiable by the 'TMOD' header) to package game assets - including compiled C# code (DLL), proprietary image formats (rawimg), audio files (WAV, MP3), and metadata.
Users typically encounter these files when manually installing mods or downloading them from the Steam Workshop. A common source of frustration is that .tmod files cannot be opened with standard archivers like WinRAR or 7-Zip. Furthermore, the internal image assets are often stored as .rawimg rather than standard PNG, requiring specialized CLI tools or TML.Patcher to view or edit. To "convert" a .tmod file effectively means to unpack its contents: extracting sprites for wiki use, decompiling the DLL assemblies to view source code in Visual Studio, or accessing audio tracks.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TMOD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ZIP, YCD, XDB0 and PIGG files.
If you want to convert TMOD file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use tModLoader or similar software from the "Terraria Mod Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to TMOD, try tModLoader or another comparable tool in the "Terraria Mod Archive" 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 TMOD converter.
