Extract text from Archives, profiles and components (CP2)
To convert CP2 Data files to another format, you need CIDAN Machinery or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Data File" file type, you need software like CIDAN Machinery or a similar tool.
The .cp2 file extension is a highly specialized, proprietary format that serves three very different primary functions. In the gaming industry, it acts as a game data archive for Neko Entertainment console titles, such as Cocoto Platformer 2 and Cocoto Kart Racer 2. In industrial manufacturing, it is a sheet metal bending profile used by CIDAN Machinery equipment. In the engineering sector, it functions as a finite element analysis (FEA) component for the Code-Aster open-source simulation software.
Opening a .cp2 file directly requires the specific software or hardware it was created for. Game archives are compiled binary containers meant only for the game engine to read. Sheet metal profiles are tied to expensive, specialized industrial machinery. FEA components require the complex Code-Aster solver environment.
The main disadvantage of the .cp2 format is that it is completely closed and proprietary. These files are not supported by web browsers, standard text editors, or universal file viewers. If you receive a .cp2 file without the corresponding software, it is practically impossible to view the data. Game files are often locked to prevent modification, while industrial and engineering variants are formatted specifically for machine execution rather than human readability.
Because of these rigid limitations, converting a .cp2 file to standard formats like PDF or JPG is usually impossible. Standard online converters fail to process these files because the binary structures are completely undocumented. However, just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru can still inspect the file, analyze the header, and show embedded text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, partial viewing or data extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CP2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SMIL, WNK, PPV, CP1 and PCP files.
If you want to convert CP2 file to PCP, you can use CIDAN Machinery or similar software from the "Specialized Proprietary Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to CP2, try CIDAN Machinery or another comparable tool in the "Specialized Proprietary Data 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 CP2 converter.
