How to Convert DOT
Click inside the file drop area to upload your DOT file or drag & drop it.
Locate your DOT file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.
Choose the format you want to convert your DOT file to and click 'Convert'.
Choose your desired format based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.
Download your converted file instantly after conversion.
Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your converted file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.
You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)
Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

Q: What’s a DOT file, and why would I convert it on RunConvert?

Q: How do I cancel a conversion?
A: Once the conversion is in progress, you can’t cancel it, but you can always start a new one. If you face any problems with a conversion, feel free to contact support for assistance.
Q: Do I need an account to use RunConvert?
A: Nope! You can start converting documents without signing up. However, creating an account gives you access to advanced features like conversion history and faster processing.
Q: Is there a way to merge multiple files before converting?

Q: Can I convert archived files like ZIP or RAR?
A: Absolutely! We can help you extract and convert files within archived formats like ZIP or RAR. Once extracted, you can convert the individual files to any supported format.

What is DOT (Graphviz)?
DOT is a plain text graph description language used by Graphviz to define graphs. It provides a simple way to describe nodes and edges in a graph. DOT files are commonly used for creating flowcharts, network diagrams, and hierarchical structures.
The .dot extension refers to files that contain descriptions of graphs in DOT language, which can be rendered into various formats such as PNG, SVG, or PDF using Graphviz tools.
How to open DOT?
DOT files can be opened using Graphviz tools, such as Graphviz Online, or software like Gephi, yEd, or Cytoscape. These tools allow you to visualize the graphs described by DOT files.
You can also use text editors like Visual Studio Code or Notepad++ to view and edit the DOT code, though you will need Graphviz installed to visualize the graph.
DOT is Developed by: AT&T Research Laboratories
DOT was Released on: 1991
