Convert a file to CRZ

To convert other file formats to the "Zipped Proprietary Data" file type, you need software like CASIO Cash Register Systems or a similar tool.


About CRZ files

The .CRZ file format serves highly specific purposes, most notably as a fiscal data file generated by CASIO cash registers, a compressed ROM file for the VPinMAME pinball emulator, or a compressed character rigging file in Poser 3D software. For CASIO systems, these files securely store daily transaction logs. The main disadvantage of the .CRZ format is its proprietary lock-in. Retailers trying to export their sales data into standard accounting software quickly discover that the format is unsupported by web browsers, spreadsheet tools, or standard bookkeeping systems.

To make the data usable, users typically need to convert .CRZ to CSV, TXT, or standard ZIP archives to parse the raw text. However, standard online converters fail to process these files because they lack the specific parsing logic for CASIO's internal structures or VPinMAME's complex binary ROM layouts. Furthermore, VPinMAME .CRZ files are closed, proprietary bundles that only the original emulator can properly execute without breaking the virtual pinball environment. Poser character files are similarly locked to the Bondware ecosystem.

Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Because the CASIO variant of the .CRZ file is technically a standard ZIP container in disguise, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your CRZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted CBZ, CR2, CRX, RSR, PPZ and MCZ files.

The CRZ Converter Story

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 CRZ converter.
