Extract text from ARR files
To convert your ARR file to another format, you need Clickteam Fusion or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Data Container" file type, you need software like Clickteam Fusion or a similar tool.
The .arr file extension represents a diverse set of technical data formats, most frequently serving as an Array Data File for games created with Clickteam Fusion. These binary files store multi-dimensional tables of numbers or text - such as level layouts, RPG statistics, or inventory data - efficiently within a game's memory. Because they are binary, they cannot be edited in standard text editors like Notepad++, creating a barrier for developers who need to tweak game balancing data externally. A secondary but significant use is for Pyret source code, a functional programming language used in education; these are plain text files readable by any editor. Less common variations include legacy 3D relief models from ArtCAM (now Carveco) or project files for Elcomsoft password recovery tools.
To make these files usable, the conversion target depends entirely on the source format. Clickteam arrays are best converted to CSV or XLSX for easy editing in spreadsheet software before being re-imported. Pyret code files can be converted to PDF for documentation or HTML for web display. Legacy ArtCAM files often require conversion to standard 3D formats like STL or OBJ for modern CAD compatibility. Identify your file type instantly and choose the right workflow to unlock your data.

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 ARR converter.
