Extract text from APZ files
To convert your APZ file to another format, you need AutoPlay Menu Builder or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Archive" file type, you need software like AutoPlay Menu Builder or a similar tool.
The .apz file extension is primarily associated with AutoPlay Menu Builder, a tool used to create interactive autorun interfaces for CDs, DVDs, and USB drives. These files act as project archives that contain the menu layout, scripts, and embedded resources like images (JPG, PNG) and sounds (MP3, WAV).
A common frustration for users is that an .apz file is merely the source project, not the final standalone application. To run the menu as intended, it must be compiled into an executable (EXE) file. Furthermore, because it is a proprietary project format, you typically need the original AutoPlay Menu Builder software to edit it. However, since the underlying format is often a structured ZIP archive, users looking to simply recover lost assets can often rename the file to zip to extract content without the paid software.
For medical professionals, a .apz file may alternatively be an encrypted secure message from the Apicrypt service. These files cannot be converted online due to strict encryption protocols and require the Apicrypt software with a valid security key to decrypt into a readable PDF or text document.

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 APZ converter.
