Extract text from Game asset archives (HRF)
To convert HRF Archives to another format, you need HyperRipper or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Asset Archive File" file type, you need software like HyperRipper or a similar tool.
An .hrf file is primarily a Game Asset Archive created by the HyperRipper extraction tool, but it is also used as a Hattrick Team Data file by the Hattrick Organizer applet, and as a High Resolution Reference Scan in JETI Spektral software. A legacy version also exists as the Hitachi Raster Format.
These proprietary formats present massive disadvantages for end users. The game archives use closed compression algorithms, making them completely incompatible with standard tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR. The Hattrick files require a specific Java application to read, and JETI scans are locked within expensive hardware measurement software. You cannot open these files natively on Windows, macOS, or modern web browsers.
To restore usability, users must extract the game assets to standard ZIP folders to access internal audio and graphics. Hattrick data is best converted to XML or CSV for spreadsheet analysis, while legacy Hitachi raster graphics should be exported to PNG or JPG.
Because .hrf files use undocumented, proprietary structures, standard online converters fail to process them. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your HRF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted UDM, TRANS and RPGSAVE files.
If you want to convert HRF file to JPG, PDF, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO, CUR, PSD or PSB, you can use HyperRipper or similar software from the "Game Asset Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to HRF, try HyperRipper or another comparable tool in the "Game Asset 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 HRF converter.
