About This Project
Why this exists and who it is for.
What This Site Does
Legacy File Format Migration Checklist is a focused, independent web utility at legacy-file-format-migration-checklist.hub2.day that helps you plan and execute the conversion of legacy file formats to modern equivalents without data loss.
If you work with older file types — such as WordPerfect documents, Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets, dBASE files, or outdated CAD drawings — you know that migration can be risky and complex. This site provides structured, step-by-step checklists tailored to common legacy formats, helping you assess what you have, choose target formats, prepare your data, run conversions, and verify results.
Who It Is For
This tool is designed for archivists preserving historical records, small business owners maintaining decades of operational data, legal professionals managing case files in legacy systems, and IT administrators responsible for organizational data migration. Whether you are planning a large-scale migration or converting a few critical files, the checklists here can help you stay organized and reduce the risk of data loss.
Why a Focused Tool
General migration guides often cover broad scenarios without addressing the specific pitfalls of particular legacy formats. This site focuses exclusively on the practical steps, common issues, and verification practices that matter when moving from older formats to modern ones. The goal is a clear, actionable checklist — not a broad reference document.
