Extract text from ES File Explorer data files (USERRETURN)
To convert USERRETURN data files to another format, you need ES File Explorer or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Android App Log File" file type, you need software like ES File Explorer or a similar tool.
The .userreturn file is a proprietary Android app installation log and usage tracking file created by ES File Explorer. This file typically stores telemetry data, user interaction metrics, and history logs generated by the application on mobile devices.
The primary disadvantage of the .userreturn format is its closed, undocumented structure. It is designed exclusively for internal use by the parent software. These files often exceed necessary storage limits, cluttering the device long after the application is uninstalled. Standard text editors or analytical tools cannot natively parse the raw data, and users face a frustrating experience when trying to open them. Because it requires a specific app ecosystem to function, you cannot simply share or read this file across different platforms.
Users frequently want to convert .userreturn files to standard formats like TXT, CSV, or JSON to inspect the tracked telemetry data. Standard online converters fail to process this format because they lack the specific parsing logic needed to read Baidu's proprietary data structure. While a perfect conversion to a formatted document is rare for closed logs, our tool inspects the file, strips away unreadable binary blocks, and extracts underlying plain text or embedded strings so you can see exactly what data was recorded.
Convert.Guru analyzes your USERRETURN file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert USERRETURN file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use ES File Explorer or similar software from the "App Usage Data Logging" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to USERRETURN, try ES File Explorer or another comparable tool in the "App Usage Data Logging" 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 USERRETURN converter.
