Why convert SQLITE to DB3?
Both .sqlite and .db3 identify a SQLite 3 database with the same internal binary structure; the KB confirms .db3 is an alias for the SQLite database format. The extension is a naming convention chosen by the application, not a property of the data. The .db3 suffix became common in mobile frameworks as shorthand for SQLite 3 database.
How to convert SQLITE to DB3
SQLiteStudio OPEN-SOURCE
Open the .sqlite file in SQLiteStudio to confirm it is valid, then rename the file to .db3 at the OS level - the content is byte-for-byte identical.
Navicat for SQlite APP
Connect to the .sqlite file in Navicat for SQLite to confirm the data, then rename the file to .db3 at the OS level and reconnect using the new name.

- Renaming the file is the complete solution - no data changes and the file size stays the same.
- On Windows, enable File name extensions in File Explorer (View menu) to see and change the extension before renaming.
- If the target application still refuses the file after renaming, the issue is a schema mismatch, not the extension - inspect the tables in SQLiteStudio to compare what the app expects.
