Convert a file to UNL

To convert other file formats to the "System & Database Export" file type, you need software like EVE-NG or a similar tool.


About UNL files

A .UNL file is predominantly a network simulation lab file used by EVE-NG (Unified Networking Lab). It stores network topology data, virtual node configurations, and connection links in standard XML format. Alternatively, it serves as a database table unload file for IBM Informix, storing raw, delimited text data exported from a database. Minor regional uses include Czech Foreign Police Ubyport accommodation reports and Moroccan bulk transfer orders.

Users frequently struggle with .UNL files because they lack universal file associations and appear as unknown formats on standard operating systems. Informix exports are plain text but use non-standard delimiters, making them confusing for basic spreadsheet software. EVE-NG files are proprietary to their specific hypervisor environment. A generic online converter will fail to process these because they do not contain media or standard document formatting. If you need to read the data, the best conversion targets are XML for EVE-NG files to inspect network configurations, and CSV or TXT for Informix database unloads to parse the raw database rows.

Because this is a highly specialized data format, standard converters fail. Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our system inspects the underlying text or XML structure, allowing you to salvage and export the data even without the original software.

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

Users also converted ZIP, NPZ, TXT, CSV, PDF, SDOCX, GMX, GCD and MPS files.

The UNL 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 UNL converter.
