What is a PERFETTO-TRACE file

PERFETTO-TRACE files mostly belong to Perfetto Trace Viewer.

Perfetto trace files hold detailed performance data captured during system or application execution. They record event sequences such as process scheduling, memory use, and hardware counter activity.
These files were created for expert analysis and are used to track and diagnose system performance issues. Key points summarized by FilExt.com include:

Performance Data Recording: They capture internal events that provide insight into system operations.
Trace Analysis: Designed to be interpreted via a timeline view, they allow experts to pinpoint performance bottlenecks.
Specialized Format: They are not meant for plain text editors; a dedicated tool is needed to decode the data.

FilExt.com note: For more information and to view these files, use the Perfetto Trace Viewer. More details can be found at the Perfetto Trace Viewer webpage.

How do you open PERFETTO-TRACE files?

You need a suitable software like Perfetto Trace Viewer to open a PERFETTO-TRACE file.

Programs that open and convert PERFETTO-TRACE files:

Perfetto Trace Viewer
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. PERFETTO-TRACE files are often referred to as Perfetto Trace Viewer data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Perfetto Trace Viewer
*.PERFETTO-TRACE files store performance tracing data captured by the Perfetto tracing tool. These files utilize a custom binary format optimized for efficient storage and analysis of performance events across various system components. The data within *.PERFETTO-TRACE files encompasses a rich set of events, including CPU scheduling, memory usage, I/O operations, and application-specific traces. Perfetto, developed by Google, offers a comprehensive tracing solution for Android, Linux, Chrome, and other platforms. The Perfetto Trace Viewer (https://ui.perfetto.dev/) provides a powerful web-based interface for visualizing and analyzing the trace data contained within these files, enabling developers to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize their software. This file format is classified as Data.

PERFETTO-TRACE file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the PERFETTO-TRACE files produces the following result:

The PERFETTO-TRACE file extension is not found very often and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The two most common formats are as follows:

30% of all PERFETTO-TRACE files start with the magic bytes r@, which are always the first bytes of this file format. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. A typical file size is 27 MB. The file type is very recent. trace-msmnile-RP1A.200720.012-2020-06-01 10-30.perfetto-trace or trace-exynos990-RP1A.200720.012-2020-06-01 10-30.perfetto-trace is a typical file name. Such files sometimes refer to trace, msmnile, exynos, titan and rrbs.
20% of all PERFETTO-TRACE files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "0A 6F 18 8F 4E 32 60 0A 0A 08 06 10" at the beginning. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. Most of these files are 3 MB to 540 MB in size. The files contain the following words: (08@HPX. A common filename is trace-sofiap-QPRS30.80-64-6-2-2020-06-01 10-30.perfetto-trace or trace-msmnile-QP1A.190711.020-2020-06-01 10-30.perfetto-trace. These files are often associated with sofiap and qprs.

All other PERFETTO-TRACE files (50%) have no consistent format. Sometimes used for kona or lito. If you want to find out what your PERFETTO-TRACE file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
