About HRP files

The .HRP file extension is most frequently associated with Home Remote Project files, created by The Home Remote Designer. These files act as comprehensive containers for smart home control dashboards, storing layout definitions, scripts, and graphical assets used to control IoT devices (like those in the HomeSeer ecosystem).

For most users, the main drawback is that .HRP files are proprietary archives. You cannot open them in a standard image viewer or text editor to see the dashboard design. This creates a problem when users want to extract specific icons, background images, or review the underlying XAML code without installing the full designer software.

The Solution:
Because the .HRP format is internally a standard ZIP archive, the most effective 'conversion' is to treat it as a compressed folder.

For Asset Extraction (Images/Scripts): Convert or rename the file to ZIP. This allows you to unzip the contents and access the raw PNG images and XAML layout files directly in Windows Explorer or macOS Finder.
For Editing: The file must be opened in The Home Remote Designer.
For Archiving: Keep the original .HRP format to ensure the project remains importable.

A secondary, less common use for this extension is as a Retail Report Definition file generated by Cegid Retail Y2 software. These are proprietary data definitions used for generating business reports and cannot be converted to standard formats like PDF or Excel without the original Cegid application.

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

Users also converted JET, IDB and FP5 files.
