What is an EXPORT file?

EXPORT files mostly belong to FRITZ!Box. An EXPORT file holds data that has been exported from a program. Its structure depends on the creator. It is not a single standard format but a label used by many systems to save backups, configurations, project data, or other exported content.
Primary use case: Some devices (for example, FRITZ!Box routers) use it as a configuration backup. This file saves network settings for later restore. Visit AVM for more details.
Other uses include:

CMS Data Export: Files created by content management tools (like CMSImportExport) use a UTF-8 text format to save website information. More details are available at Kentico.

Game Save Files: Emulators and game engines (such as VisualBoyAdvance and Ren'Py) use these files to store game progress or translation data. Visit ngemu or Ren'Py for reference.

Project Exports: Systems like Codesys export project setups in an XML format meant for transferring automation data. See Codesys for more information.

Compressed Archives: Some EXPORT files are actually containers, using formats such as ZIP or GZIP, which bundle multiple data files.

Chatbot and Policy Data: Certain platforms export configuration data for chatbots (from Botpress or Landbot) and even policy settings for Google Chrome. More details can be found at Botpress or Chrome Enterprise.

Other Specialized Exports: Exports cover data like patient records, schedule timetables, or even form submissions (in a JSON flavor) and PDF document exports from Adobe Acrobat (Adobe Acrobat).

FilExt.com tips: To open an EXPORT file, first check which software created it. If the file is text-based (XML or JSON), using a simple text editor may work. If it is a compressed archive, try an archive utility. Each file’s internal format will point to the proper application and method for viewing or editing the data.

How to open EXPORT files

You need a suitable software like FRITZ!Box to open an EXPORT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.

EXPORT file format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Below you will find our evaluation of the EXPORT files:

The EXPORT file ending is used by many programs, each with its own file format. However, the following two file formats are common:

• 20% of all EXPORT files internally utilize the XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files are text files, so they contain words and text. A typical file size is 1 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <NewDataSet> and version. cms_info.xml.export or cms_site.xml.export is a typical file name. These files are often associated with bizform, info, objecttranslation and site.
• 10% of all EXPORT files belong to FRITZ!Box configuration backup. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view and read the content yourself. Most of these files are 150 KB to 440 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. **** FRITZ!Box, CONFIGURATION, EXPORT, FirmwareVersion, Password and CONFIG_INSTALL_. Such files are related to ilabor and plus.

All other EXPORT files (70%) have no consistent format, such as ZIP, GZIP, PDF, EMULATOR, english, AEE and JTdCJTIydG. Tagged as gameboy, saves, advance, emploi, temps or data. If you want to find out what your EXPORT file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
