What is a .BLOB file?

The most common data format on the web.

A .blob file in your Steam folder is ClientRegistry.blob, an internal settings cache the Steam client builds and manages itself. There is nothing to open inside it. If Steam won't start or update, quit Steam, delete ClientRegistry.blob, and relaunch - Steam rebuilds it automatically. Your games and account are not affected.

Frequently asked questions

Is my .BLOB file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is opened directly from the copy you pick.

My .BLOB file is invalid. Can you fix it?

We show the exact line and column of the first error. For common problems like comments, trailing commas, single quotes or Python-style True/False/None, click Try to repair and download the fixed file.

How large can the file be?

Up to 50 MB. The tree only builds the branches you open, so even multi-megabyte files stay responsive.

What is JSONPath?

A path like $.orders[3].customer.email that points to one value inside the data. Click any node to see its path and copy it for code, jq or your API docs.

Can I see my data as a table?

Yes. Any array of objects can be shown in the Table view and downloaded as CSV.
