Extract text from Meta Spark project packages (ARPROJPKG)
To convert ARPROJPKG project packages to another format, you need Meta Spark Studio or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Augmented Reality Project Archive" file type, you need software like Meta Spark Studio or a similar tool.
An .ARPROJPKG file is a complete project package originally created by Meta Spark Studio, an authoring tool formerly used to build augmented reality (AR) filters for Instagram and Facebook. Creators used this format to bundle the main ARPROJ project file alongside all its dependencies - such as 3D models, textures, audio, and scripts - into a single file for easy sharing among developers.
Users find themselves needing to extract or convert these files due to an extreme real-world limitation: Meta officially shut down the entire Meta Spark platform on January 14, 2025. Because the original software is discontinued and login servers are offline, .ARPROJPKG files are now effectively dead in their native form. The format is a closed container tied to a defunct ecosystem, making it completely impossible to open directly or publish from. Standard online converters fail to process it because translating Meta's unique AR scripting logic and node patches to another platform, like TikTok's Effect House or Snapchat's Lens Studio, cannot be done automatically.
If you are trying to salvage your work, the best conversion target is a standard ZIP archive. By extracting the package, you can recover the embedded source assets, such as GLTF or OBJ 3D models, and PNG or JPG textures. Be aware that all interactive logic, animations, and patch editor scripts will be completely useless outside of Meta Spark.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert directly because it was never designed for cross-platform compatibility, and only the original, now-defunct software could properly compile the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as the standard ZIP structure - viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ARPROJPKG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 ARPROJPKG converter.
