Extract text from YRC bookmark archives (YRCBKM)
To convert YRCBKM archives to another format, you need YRC Weblink or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Bookmark Archive File" file type, you need software like YRC Weblink or a similar tool.
The .YRCBKM file is a proprietary bookmark archive created by Weblink, a legacy Windows web browser developed by YRC Group. It is primarily designed to securely back up and transfer saved webpage URLs and favorites between different installations of the Weblink browser.
The most significant disadvantage of the .YRCBKM format is its highly restricted, vendor-specific nature. Unlike modern web browsers that universally export bookmark data as standard HTML or JSON files, Weblink uses a closed container that browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge simply cannot recognize. Users who stumble upon these old backups usually find themselves completely locked out of their saved links unless they have the original legacy software installed. Furthermore, because it is an undocumented archive, traditional file converters invariably fail to process it.
When attempting to migrate your old web links, the ideal conversion targets are standard HTML (the universal bookmark format), CSV, or plain TXT. Our analyzer can often scan the file's binary data to extract embedded text strings, helping you recover your raw URLs without needing the original YRC Weblink browser.
Convert.Guru analyzes your YRCBKM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert YRCBKM file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use YRC Weblink or similar software from the "Web Browser Bookmark Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to YRCBKM, try YRC Weblink or another comparable tool in the "Web Browser Bookmark Archive" 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 YRCBKM converter.
