Extract text from AR project files (ARPROJ)
To convert ARPROJ projects to another format, you need Wondershare Anireel or other Video software.
To convert other file formats to the "Animation Project File" file type, you need software like Wondershare Anireel or a similar tool.
The .arproj file is predominantly an Animated Video Project file created by Wondershare Anireel, an application used to generate animated explainer videos. A secondary, distinct use for the .arproj format is for Spark AR Studio (now Meta Spark Studio) projects created by Meta, which store augmented reality filters and effects. In both cases, these are proprietary project files, not standalone media files. For Anireel, the .arproj file is actually a renamed ZIP archive that bundles together raw assets, audio tracks, XML-based timelines, and rendering instructions.
Users frequently encounter severe limitations with this format because it is proprietary. You cannot upload an .arproj file to YouTube, and it will not play in standard media players like VLC. Sharing the file requires the recipient to install the specific, often expensive, authoring software. To make the content usable, an Anireel project must be converted or rendered into a standard video format like MP4 or MOV, while Spark AR projects are typically exported as AREXPORT files for publishing to Instagram or Facebook.
Because .arproj files are complex, closed-source project containers, standard online video converters always fail to process them. They lack the proprietary rendering engine needed to compile the scattered assets and timeline data into a flat, playable video. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Because Anireel files use a standard ZIP container underneath, our analysis can often detect supported embedded formats, allowing you to extract the raw PNG images, MP3 audio, and vector assets directly from the project file without needing the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ARPROJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert ARPROJ file to OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D, STL, PLY or WRL, you can use Wondershare Anireel or similar software from the "Animated Video Project Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to ARPROJ, try Wondershare Anireel or another comparable tool in the "Animated Video Project 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 ARPROJ converter.
