Extract text from Botpress archives (BPZ)
To convert BPZ archives to another format, you need Botpress or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Chatbot Configuration Archive" file type, you need software like Botpress or a similar tool.
A .bpz file is essentially a compressed archive used by Botpress, an open-source conversational AI platform. It encapsulates a chatbot's entire lifecycle - including conversation flows, NLU (Natural Language Understanding) data, intents, and configuration settings - into a single package for export and backup. While efficient for deployment, this format creates a "black box" effect; you cannot natively view the internal logic or diff changes without importing the file back into the Botpress Studio. Users often struggle when attempting to audit code or recover specific assets without a running server instance.
Since the .bpz format is internally a standard GZIP or ZIP container, the most pragmatic conversion workflow involves extracting it to open standard formats. For developers and auditors, converting (or renaming) the file to ZIP allows access to the raw JSON and JS files inside. This makes it possible to edit bot logic in standard code editors like VS Code or commit the unzipped structure to version control systems like Git. If the file fails to open as an archive, it may be a rare Symbol Library file for Easy Blue Print, though this use case is statistically insignificant.

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 BPZ converter.
