About AWR files

The .awr extension primarily identifies Source5 game asset bundles used by Arcanist: The Reckoning (78% of cases). These are proprietary containers holding 3D models, textures, and audio data essential for gameplay. Because they are compiled specifically for the Arcanist engine, they are not designed to be opened by standard media players. Users typically encounter these when trying to mod the game or extract assets, often running into friction because the format is encrypted or compressed to prevent tampering.

In corporate IT environments (13% of cases), an .awr file is often an Automatic Workload Repository report generated by Oracle Database. These are technically HTML or ASCII text files masquerading with a custom extension. Database Administrators (DBAs) generate them to analyze system performance, wait events, and SQL statistics. The main frustration here is that while the content is readable, the extension prevents double-click opening in browsers or Excel.

Conversion Targets:

For Game Assets: The goal is extraction rather than direct conversion. Use community extraction tools to convert internal textures to PNG or DDS and models to OBJ or FBX for use in Blender.
For Oracle Reports: Rename the file to HTML or TXT to view it instantly. For archiving or presentation, convert the resulting HTML to PDF or the data tables to CSV/XLSX for analysis in Microsoft Excel.

Convert.Guru analyzes your AWR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted ARW, CMBL, IMS and WBF files.
