Extract text from TREE files
To convert your TREE file to another format, you need ChessBase or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Chess Opening Repertoire" file type, you need software like ChessBase or a similar tool.
The .TREE file extension is a versatile container used to store hierarchical data structures, most notably in chess software and bioinformatics. Its primary application is within ChessBase and similar engines to map out chess opening repertoires and move variations. While powerful for strategy, these files often suffer from proprietary lock-in, making it difficult to share strategies with players using different software or mobile apps. To solve this, users frequently convert chess trees to PGN (Portable Game Notation) for universal compatibility.
In the scientific community, .TREE files (often in Newick or NEXUS formats) store phylogenetic data generated by tools like MEGA or RAxML. The challenge here is visualization; raw tree files are text-based and unintelligible to the human eye. Researchers must convert them to PDF, SVG, or PNG for publication and academic presentation. Additionally, users of the Tabs Outliner extension may encounter .TREE files containing JSON data of their browsing sessions, which requires conversion to HTML or CSV for data recovery.
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 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.
