Extract text from WeChat log files (XLOG)
To convert XLOG logs to another format, you need Tencent Mars Xlog or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Compressed Log File" file type, you need software like Tencent Mars Xlog or a similar tool.
The .xlog file extension is most commonly associated with high-performance, cross-platform application log files generated by the Tencent Mars Xlog library. It is widely used in mobile applications, notably WeChat, to record runtime events, system states, and crash diagnostics. Other, less common uses include application logs for Xelion, backup logs for Percona XtraBackup, or generic XML and text-based system logs.
The biggest disadvantage of the Tencent Mars .xlog format is that it is not plain text. To minimize storage space and disk I/O on mobile devices, these logs are heavily compressed and frequently encrypted (using ECDH and stream ciphers). Because it is a proprietary binary format, opening an .xlog file in a standard text editor will only display unreadable gibberish. End-users and developers face significant hurdles accessing this data, as it requires specific Python decoding scripts and, if encrypted, the developer's exact decryption key.
To actually read and analyze the data, you must decode and convert the file. Convert .xlog to TXT for standard human-readable debugging. Convert to JSON or CSV if the decoded log contains structured data that needs to be imported into log aggregation and monitoring tools.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XLOG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MMAP3, PROFILE, QQXLOG, ZIP, LOG, TXT, XML, JSON, JPG, DFT, DB, ENC and PKL files.
If you want to convert XLOG file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Tencent Mars Xlog or similar software from the "Application Event Logging" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to XLOG, try Tencent Mars Xlog or another comparable tool in the "Application Event 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 XLOG converter.
