Extract text from Witcher Script files (WS)
To convert WS scripts to another format, you need Magnet AXIOM or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Script or Database File" file type, you need software like Magnet AXIOM or a similar tool.
A .ws file is most commonly a game script for The Witcher series developed by CD Projekt RED, storing game logic in a UTF-16 (LE) text format. Alternatively, it functions as an SQL digital forensics workspace database for Magnet AXIOM, a Redis metadata dump for Synology Active Backup, or JSON workspace settings for the ATAS Order Flow Trading platform.
Opening a .ws file is notoriously frustrating because the exact same extension is shared by wildly different applications. A user trying to open a .ws game script in a basic text editor might face severe encoding issues, rendering the text unreadable. Conversely, an AXIOM .ws database requires specialized digital forensics software that is expensive and unavailable to standard users. These files offer poor portability and lock your data inside specific software ecosystems.
To safely access your data, you must identify the underlying format and convert it. If the file is a Witcher script or ATAS setting, convert it to TXT or JSON for easy viewing and editing. If it is an AXIOM database or Redis dump, converting the tables to CSV or a standard SQL dump allows you to read the contents in free database managers.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted WWS, STORE, DOCX, CTS, CST, PDF, MESH, BIN, ZIP, TXT, JPG, PKPASS and ENC files.
If you want to convert WS file to PDF, EXE, MSI, APP, DMG, DEB, RPM, PKG, RUN, SH, BAT or CMD, you can use Magnet AXIOM or similar software from the "Game Script or Forensics Database" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert JAR, APP, SCR, IPA, COM, AAB, PS1, DMG, VBS, EXE, XAPK or MSI files to WS, try Magnet AXIOM or another comparable tool in the "Game Script or Forensics Database" 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 WS converter.
