'''Convert''' is an archiving format associated with the ''Convert'' utility included with some versions of the GEOS OS for the Commodore 64. GEOS "files" are not ordinary files, so Convert and similar formats are sometimes used to transfer them to other platforms.

Convert can be used with both [[GEOS VLIR]] and GEOS Sequential files.

There is also an [[GEOS Convert (Atari)|Atari version]] of the format, which is reported to be quite different from the C64 version.
