What Is an EPC File?
A file with the EPC file extension is most likely a video game file used by Doctor Who or Jill of the Jungle. The file likely holds data like 3D scenes or maps, but the two EPC files are otherwise unrelated to each other, other than the fact that they’re both used for a PC game. An EPC file may instead be an EPC Tools Diagram file, which is an XML-based file used to store diagrams. Another type of EPC file is one that holds an eBook. We don’t have much information on this type, but it can be assumed it’s similar to the EPUB format.
How to Open an EPC File
EPC files that are associated with the games mentioned above should open just fine with the Firehand Ember Free image viewer. This, of course, isn’t going to open the file in either game, but instead should show you the graphic that the file represents. Eclipse can open EPC files that use the XML format, though you might need a plug-in (like EPC Tools). You should also be able to view the file in any text editor, like Notepad++. A text editor might be helpful to some degree, but this file is probably best used with Eclipse. We haven’t been able to test this, but an EPC file that’s an eBook file might be able to open in the same applications that work with EPUB files. However, you most likely have to rename the book to .EPUB so that the program will recognize it. AlReader for Android is one app that supports EPC files that have been renamed to EPUB.
How to Convert an EPC File
We have little confidence that an EPC game file can be converted to any other format. Especially considering that the format is used only in the two games mentioned above, they probably have no practical use existing in any other format. The XML format that some EPC files are saved in should probably remain in their original format. However, you can surely convert them to another XML-like format using a text editor or XML viewer. What we said above about renaming an .EPC eBook to .EPUB is probably the best way to convert that type of EPC file to a new format. However, the act of renaming the extension doesn’t actually convert the file. Once it’s in the EPUB format, you can use a free document converter to convert the eBook to DOCX, HTML, PDF, and other text-based formats.
