Extract text from UTC files
To convert your UTC file to another format, you need Aurora Toolset or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Creature Data" file type, you need software like Aurora Toolset or a similar tool.
A .UTC file is a Universal Template Creature file used by the BioWare Aurora Engine, most notably in Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Dragon Age. These files function as blueprints for in-game characters and monsters, storing critical data such as ability scores (STR, DEX), inventory items, appearance models, and attached scripts.
Because .UTC files use the proprietary binary GFF (Generic File Format), they are effectively "black boxes" that cannot be opened or edited in standard text editors like Notepad or Word. To modify a creature's stats without launching the massive Aurora Toolset, users must convert the binary .UTC file into a human-readable format like XML, JSON, or raw TXT. Once converted to text, modders can tweak specific values (e.g., changing an NPC's health from 100 to 1000) and then convert the file back to .UTC to drop into the game's override folder.
Convert.Guru analyzes your UTC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ZIP, JPG, MOV, HTML, MP4, HEIC, JSON, PDF, PNG, HAK, EST, IST and CST 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 UTC converter.
