Extract text from project archives (CPZ)
To convert CPZ archives to another format, you need Crestron Toolbox or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Archive File" file type, you need software like Crestron Toolbox or a similar tool.
The .CPZ file extension primarily represents a Crestron Project Archive, utilized by Crestron Electronics to bundle compiled control system projects, source code, and touchpanel interfaces into a single deployable package. It is also actively used as a compressed game data container for titles built on the Kirikiri2 visual novel engine (such as Jikhan Online), and occasionally as a generic content package by Adobe, Microchip, or JCB Easybooks for accounting backups.
The main disadvantage of .CPZ files is their proprietary wrapper. By default, Windows and macOS fail to recognize the format, prompting users to find a suitable application. Extracting or modifying the contents typically demands expensive, specialized software like Crestron Toolbox or niche game-asset unpackers. This is a common issue if you simply need to audit an old project, extract a lost UI asset, or recover an accounting backup without paying for a software license.
Because many .CPZ files rely on standard compression algorithms beneath their proprietary extension, you can easily convert them. For broad accessibility and data extraction, convert .CPZ to standard archive formats like ZIP, RAR, or 7Z.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CPZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 CPZ converter.
