Extract text from Texture and data files (XTD)
To convert XTD Data files to another format, you need Grand Theft Auto or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Texture Dictionary" file type, you need software like Grand Theft Auto or a similar tool.
The .XTD extension represents two distinct, specialized formats that often cause confusion. The most common use (associated with Rockstar Games) is a Texture Dictionary file found in console or handheld versions of Grand Theft Auto (e.g., GTA: Chinatown Wars). These are binary containers - often identified by an RSC7 header - that store game assets like character skins, vehicle textures, and UI elements. They are proprietary, meaning you cannot open them in standard image editors like Adobe Photoshop without first extracting the contents. Users typically convert these files to PNG, DDS, or JPG to modify game graphics or create mods.
The second common type is a Trajectory Data file generated by Materials Studio, a molecular modeling suite by Dassault Systèmes. These are XML-based files used to record the movement of atoms during a simulation. While they are text-readable, the raw XML is difficult to interpret manually. Scientists and researchers convert these to CSV for analysis in Microsoft Excel or keep them as XML for archiving.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XTD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ODD, YTD and WTD files.
If you want to convert XTD file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Grand Theft Auto or similar software from the "Game Texture Storage" 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 XTD, try Grand Theft Auto or another comparable tool in the "Game Texture Storage" 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 XTD converter.
