Extract text from Construct game projects (CAPROJ)
To convert CAPROJ projects to another format, you need Construct 2 or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Engine Project File" file type, you need software like Construct 2 or a similar tool.
.CAPROJ files are proprietary game project files created by Scirra Construct 2 and Construct Animate. They store the structural framework of 2D games and animations, including pointers to event sheets, layouts, object behaviors, and media asset directories. Depending on the exact software version, a .CAPROJ is formatted internally as a plain text XML file (in Construct 2) or a compressed ZIP archive (in Construct Animate).
The main disadvantage of the .CAPROJ format is its strict reliance on the native software. It is a closed, proprietary workspace file, not a playable game. You cannot run a .CAPROJ file in a web browser or on a mobile device, and fully compiling it requires a paid license or subscription to the Construct engine. If you lose access to the software, your project logic is trapped inside this format.
Standard online converters fail to process .CAPROJ files because true conversion to playable formats like HTML5, EXE, or APK requires a full game engine compiler, not just a media transcoder. Because this file format is difficult to open or convert externally, converting it directly to an executable is impossible here.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CAPROJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PLAN, CAPX, LYS and RVT files.
If you want to convert CAPROJ file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use Construct 2 or similar software from the "Game Project Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to CAPROJ, try Construct 2 or another comparable tool in the "Game Project Storage" 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 CAPROJ converter.
