Extract text from CAD and replay files (BRP)
To convert BRP files to another format, you need Open CASCADE Technology or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "Boundary Representation Model" file type, you need software like Open CASCADE Technology or a similar tool.
The .brp file extension is heavily fragmented and serves entirely different purposes depending on the industry. In engineering and industrial design, it functions as a CAD boundary representation (B-rep) file, utilized primarily by Open CASCADE Technology, CATIA V5, and Matra-Datavision. These files store the mathematical definitions of 3D object surfaces, edges, and topologies. Alternatively, civil engineers use .brp for HEC-RAS bridge profile data, while BricsCAD uses it as a UTF-16 encoded report template. In the gaming sector, .brp stores proprietary binary game replay or save data for titles like Brawlhalla, Battle Realms, and various FromSoftware games.
The main disadvantage of the .brp format is this extreme fragmentation. If you receive a .brp file, you cannot immediately know if it is a 3D engineering model, a civil engineering dataset, or a fighting game recording. CAD .brp files are often locked to specific software environments, requiring expensive legacy systems or subscriptions to open natively. Game replay files are even more restricted; they are entirely dependent on the specific game engine version and do not contain actual video data, only a log of controller inputs and coordinates.
To share 3D CAD data, convert .brp to STEP or IGES for maximum compatibility across different CAD programs, or STL for 3D printing. For non-technical stakeholders, convert the views to PDF. If you have a gaming .brp replay file, be aware that it cannot be mathematically converted to a video format like MP4. You must run the replay inside the native game client and use screen recording software to capture the footage.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BRP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, MPH, SCORE and VIS files.
If you want to convert BRP file to , you can use Open CASCADE Technology or similar software from the "3D Modeling or Game Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to BRP, try Open CASCADE Technology or another comparable tool in the "3D Modeling or Game Data" category.
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 BRP converter.
