Extract text from font or bibliographic data files (UTF)
To convert UTF data files to another format, you need CorelDraw or other Font software.
To convert other file formats to the "Specialized Font File" file type, you need software like CorelDraw or a similar tool.
The .utf file extension is primarily used for two completely different types of data: specialized TrueType font files (such as Urdu Typeface Files) linked to CorelDraw, and MARC bibliographic data records (ISO 2709) used in library cataloging systems.
Font files are typically managed within vector graphic environments like CorelDraw, while MARC records require specialized cataloging software such as MarcEdit.
Users frequently need to convert these files because they are highly restricted to their native applications. A .utf font file cannot be installed directly as a standard system font in Windows or macOS without conversion. Similarly, a MARC bibliographic file contains structured binary data that standard text editors will load as a garbled mess.
For MARC files, the best conversion targets are XML, CSV, or TXT to make the library data usable in standard databases. For font files, converting to standard TTF or OTF is required for system-wide font installation.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because standard online converters fail to parse the proprietary mapping of the font variants or the strict byte schemas of the MARC standard. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your UTF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted UTF8, TXT, INP, PDF, OCM, UD, AOL, ASCII, TEXT and HEX files.
If you want to convert UTF file to ASCII, TEXT, HEX, PDF, TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX or LATEX, you can use CorelDraw or similar software from the "Font or Bibliographic Data Record" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to UTF, try CorelDraw or another comparable tool in the "Font or Bibliographic Data Record" 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 UTF converter.
