Extract text from Project documents (BOP)
To convert BOP Projects to another format, you need Gefasoft Build-Up or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Data Container" file type, you need software like Gefasoft Build-Up or a similar tool.
The .bop extension is most frequently associated with Gefasoft Build-Up, a specialized software suite used in the construction industry for project management and data interchange. These files function as compressed archives - internally formatted as ZIP containers - that hold project metadata, resource allocations, and XML configurations. Because this format is proprietary and tied to specific industrial workflows, users often struggle to open them without the original Gefasoft installation. A practical workaround for accessing the raw data is to rename the extension from .bop to zip, allowing you to extract the internal contents using standard tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR.
Alternatively, a .bop file may be a document created by Business Office Pro (developed by Software Depot Online). These are legacy business documents containing text, financial data, or invoices. Unlike the Gefasoft variant, these cannot be treated as ZIP archives and require the original software or a dedicated legacy viewer to render correctly. Users also frequently confuse this extension with BUP (DVD backup files), which serve an entirely different purpose for media playback.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BOP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BUP, BITMAP, BLANK and DEAD files.

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 BOP converter.
