Convert CRI Middleware packages (CPK) online for free
The converter easily converts your CPK packages to various formats - free and online. No CRI FileMagic or or other Game software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Data Archive" file type, you need software like CRI FileMagic or a similar tool.
The .CPK file format is a proprietary data archive container used primarily by video games built with CRI Middleware technology. These files function as virtual file systems (VFS), packaging thousands of individual game assets - such as 3D models, textures, audio tracks, and full-motion video - into a single, highly compressed file. Developers use the CRI FileMagic library to optimize load times and reduce disc space on consoles and PC.
You usually need to convert or unpack .CPK files when modifying games, translating text, or extracting original soundtracks and cutscenes. The main disadvantage of this format is its closed, proprietary nature. Standard archive managers cannot read the internal directory structure. Furthermore, the extracted assets are often encoded in other proprietary CRI formats, such as ADX or HCA for audio, and USM or SFD for video, which require a second layer of conversion.
The best solution is to extract the .CPK archive into standard folders or convert it to universally readable archives like ZIP or 7Z. However, standard online converters fail to process it because the format requires specific decryption keys or CRIWARE unpacking algorithms. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible on convert.guru. If our analysis detects standard underlying embedded formats, viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your CPK file.

If you want to convert CPK file to PPM, PPK, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, CAB or ACE, you can use CRI FileMagic or similar software from the "Game Data Archive Package" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert XXE, 7Z, Z, PAK, LHA, DEB, UUE, TAR, LZH, ZIP, PKG or RAR files to CPK, try CRI FileMagic or another comparable tool in the "Game Data Archive Package" 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 CPK converter.
