Convert your Pro Cycling Manager database

Drop a .cdb and get a SQLite database you can open in DB Browser or any SQL tool. Drop that SQLite back and get a .cdb Pro Cycling Manager reads. The direction is detected from the file you drop.

Drop a .cdb or .sqlite file here

or click to browse

Keep a backup of the database you care about. Good practice with any modding tool.

01

Drop your .cdb database

Any PCM .cdb, from Pro Cycling Manager 2014 to 2025: a career save, an official Cyanide release, a community update.

02

Edit it as SQLite

You get a real SQLite file. Open it in DB Browser, query it, run an UPDATE across a thousand riders, whatever your SQL tool can do.

03

Convert SQLite back to .cdb

Drop the edited SQLite here again to get a .cdb. Tables, column types and CDB metadata are preserved, so the game reads it like any other database.

// under the hood

It is a library first

This page is a thin shell over cdb-converter, the MIT-licensed package that does the work. Two functions, both directions, in the browser or in Node. There is a CLI too, if a terminal suits you better than a dropzone.

cdb-converter
~ $ npm install cdb-converter
~ $ npx cdb-converter database.cdb
wrote database.sqlite
// before you drop a file

Common questions

Which Pro Cycling Manager versions does it work with?

Pro Cycling Manager 2014 to 2025. The CDB parser is format-driven rather than version-specific, so it is not tied to a single release, and every version listed is covered by a lossless round-trip test against the official database.

How large a database can I convert?

There is no upload limit because there is no upload: the ceiling is your browser tab’s memory. A full PCM database runs tens of megabytes and converts in a few seconds on an ordinary laptop.

Can converting damage my database?

The file you drop is only read, never written to. Every conversion produces a new file that you download yourself, so the original stays exactly as it was. Keeping a backup of a career you care about is still good practice with any modding tool.

What can I edit in the SQLite file?

Everything the .cdb holds, including the rider tables most people come here for. Open it in DB Browser or any SQL tool, change ratings, contracts or names, run an UPDATE across a thousand rows, then convert it back.
