Extract text from Captivate aggregate files (AGGR)
To convert AGGR Aggregate files to another format, you need Adobe Captivate or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "E-Learning Aggregate File" file type, you need software like Adobe Captivate or a similar tool.
AGGR files are proprietary aggregate data containers created by Adobe Captivate. E-learning developers use this software to build interactive courses, software simulations, and quizzes. The .AGGR file functions as an internal storage mechanism, holding packaged multimedia elements, object properties, and slide metadata required during the active project creation phase.
Because it is an undocumented, closed-source format, you cannot simply open an .AGGR file in standard media players, text editors, or web browsers. It requires an active, expensive subscription to Adobe Captivate to properly interpret and render the internal data. This creates a severe vendor lock-in problem. If you need to extract an audio clip or an image but no longer have the Adobe software installed, you are stuck. Standard online converters fail to process this file because they lack the proprietary algorithms needed to decode Adobe's internal project structure.
If you need to recover the media inside, the only official workflow is to open the parent project in Captivate and publish the course to standard formats like .HTML5, MP4, or PDF. Direct conversion of the raw .AGGR file is usually impossible without data loss. However, many proprietary Adobe formats are actually renamed ZIP archives or contain unencrypted embedded media streams. Even if the format is locked down, our analyzer can often pull standard text, XML structures, or raw media assets out of the aggregate container so you can recover your work without paying for another software license.
Convert.Guru analyzes your AGGR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert AGGR file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Adobe Captivate or similar software from the "E-Learning Asset Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to AGGR, try Adobe Captivate or another comparable tool in the "E-Learning Asset Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AGGR converter.
