Convert CYP to another file type

To convert your CYP file to another format, you need CYPE or other Cad software.

Convert a file to CYP

To convert other file formats to the "BIM Project File" file type, you need software like CYPE or a similar tool.

About CYP files

A .cyp file most commonly represents a structural analysis project created by CYPE software, used extensively in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors. These files function as proprietary containers for building models, load calculations, and material specifications. A significant portion of .cyp files are actually GZIP compressed archives, masking their internal data structure. Users without a licensed copy of CYPE often find these files impossible to open, creating a major bottleneck for collaboration with stakeholders who use generic CAD tools like AutoCAD or Revit.

Another frequent use of the extension is for Ashampoo 3D CAD projects. Like CYPE files, these are locked into the vendor's ecosystem, preventing easy viewing on mobile devices or web browsers. In the database world, a .cyp file might be a plain text script written in the Cypher query language for Neo4j.

Conversion Recommendations:

For BIM/Collaboration: Convert CYPE or Ashampoo projects to IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) or DWG to ensure geometry is accessible in other CAD suites.
For Documentation: Convert to PDF if you only need to share 2D plans or reports without allowing edits.
For Database Scripts: If the file is text-based (Neo4j), simply rename it to TXT or CQL to open it in standard code editors like VS Code.

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

Users also converted DWG, LXDS, DXF, PDF, JPG, BAK, APKG, RLD, MPJ and MG files.

The CYP 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 CYP converter.
