Convert WDB files online for free
The converter easily converts your WDB file to various formats - free and online. No Excel or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Database formats to WDB with high quality output.
The .WDB file extension is primarily the proprietary database format for Microsoft Works, a discontinued productivity suite that preceded and briefly coexisted with Microsoft Office. These files function as flat-file databases, often used for personal address books, inventories, and simple data records.
The primary challenge users face is that .WDB files are technologically orphaned; modern versions of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access cannot natively open or import them. This proprietary lock-in forces users to rely on third-party conversion tools or outdated software installations to retrieve decades-old data.
For data recovery and modern usage, the best practice is to convert these legacy databases into CSV (Comma Separated Values) for universal compatibility, or XLSX for direct editing in Excel. If you are a gamer finding .WDB files in a World of Warcraft folder, note that these are merely temporary game cache files containing creature or item data, which regenerate if deleted and are not intended for conversion.

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 WDB converter.
