About TREE files

A .tree file is a multi-purpose data format used primarily to store hierarchical relationships. Its contents vary wildly depending on the software that created it. The most common uses include Chess opening repertoire trees managed by ChessBase, and Phylogenetic tree data utilizing the Newick or NEXUS standard for evolutionary biology in software like MEGA. Another popular variant is the Tabs Outliner Chrome extension, which exports browser session backups as a .tree file formatted in JSON. The fundamental disadvantage of the .tree format is its complete lack of standardization. A biological Newick tree is unreadable to a chess program, and a workspace resource tree cannot be processed by bioinformatics tools. Because these files hide plain text or JSON data behind an obscure extension, standard operating systems fail to open them natively, forcing users to manually inspect the syntax in a text editor. If you need to parse the raw data, convert your .tree file to TXT or JSON. For archiving visual representations of phylogenetic or decision trees, convert them to PDF or SVG.

Convert.Guru analyzes your TREE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted TUR, CBV and CBH files.

The TREE 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 TREE converter.
