Free your data from formats the world left behind.
We read the old Access, FoxPro, dBase and Lotus files no modern app will open, and hand your records back as clean CSV, Excel, PostgreSQL or JSON. No legacy software to install, nothing to figure out.

Three steps. No legacy software, no command line.
You send the file. We do the archaeology. You get back something you can actually open today.
Upload your file
Pick your system, then drag in the file, even if it's a 30-year-old export on a thumb drive. We read its real structure, version and character encoding, so your records come back clean instead of garbled.
We read & convert
We map the original table structure, convert every field to the right modern type, translate old character encodings to UTF-8, and flag anything ambiguous so nothing gets silently mangled.
Export & download
Get clean data in the format you use today: CSV, Excel, PostgreSQL, JSON or raw SQL. Re-download any conversion for 30–90 days, depending on your plan, at no extra charge.
What we handle automatically.
No mapping files, no scripts. The hard parts of reading a legacy format are done for you, the same way every time.
Schema detected for you
We read your tables, columns and data types straight from the source, with no manual mapping. You see the detected structure in the preview before you pay.
Cleaned as it converts
Legacy character encodings become UTF-8, dates and numbers are normalized, blank and deleted records are detected, and every field is coerced to a sensible modern type.
Knows the exact dialect
We identify the precise version and encoding inside the file, like FoxPro 2.x versus Visual FoxPro, so your records come back faithful instead of garbled.
The same records, before and after.
On the left, a real dBase IV dump that errors out in modern tools. On the right, the converted data. Pick the format you want it in.
Your records are sensitive. We treat them that way.
Old databases hold customer lists, financials and decades of history. Here's exactly how that data is handled while it's with us.
Encrypted end to end
Files are encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256. Only the conversion engine ever touches the raw bytes.
Deleted automatically
Your uploads and outputs are purged on a fixed schedule after you download. We never sell, share, or train anything on your data, full stop.
Nothing changes silently
Every conversion comes with a report: each table, its record count, anything we filtered out and why, and every warning we hit. Where a file declares its own row count, we flag any table that comes up short.
Re-download when you need it
Lost the file again? Your finished exports stay available to re-download for 30–90 days, depending on your plan. Grab them whenever you need them within that window.
Got a file stuck in 1998?
Send it over and we'll tell you exactly what's inside (the format, the row count, what converts cleanly) before you pay a cent.
