# Convert Workspaces
The Convert Workspaces tool can be used to extract the raw data ([video files](/theia3d-documentation/data-formats/video-data.md) and camera system [calibration file](/theia3d-documentation/data-formats/calibration-files.md)) from existing [Theia workspaces](/theia3d-documentation/data-formats/theia3d-workspaces.md). This can be used whenever the raw data used to produce the workspaces is no longer available, or if the workspaces were produced using Theia3D v2023 or earlier which are no longer compatible with current versions of Theia3D.
When using this tool, two file selection dialog windows will appear, in the following order:
1. **Workspace Directory:** Use this dialog window to select a folder containing one or more Theia workspaces to be converted to raw data.
2. **Output Raw Directory:** Use this dialog window to select an empty folder where the extracted raw data should be output.
Once the above two dialog windows have been used, Theia3D will automatically convert each workspace and output the raw data in the selected folder.
The result dialog window listing Theia workspaces which were successfully converted to raw data format.
