Extract text from Kubla projects or knitting patterns (KCP)
To convert KCP projects or patterns to another format, you need Kubla Cubed or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "Earthworks Estimation Project" file type, you need software like Kubla Cubed or a similar tool.
The .kcp file extension primarily represents an Earthworks calculation project file created by Kubla software. These files are used in tools like Kubla Cubed (formerly Kubla Cut-Fill) to store topography data, volume estimates, and site models for earthmoving operations. A secondary use for the .kcp extension is as a knitting pattern project file used by the mobile app knitCompanion, developed by Create2Thrive.
Users often need to convert these files to share cut-and-fill estimates or knitting patterns with clients and colleagues. However, the .kcp format is a significant bottleneck. It is a strictly proprietary container that requires a paid license or a specialized app installation just to view the contents. You cannot natively open these files in standard web browsers or document viewers.
The ideal target formats are PDF for static reports, DXF or DWG for CAD integration, and CSV for spreadsheet data. Because .kcp files are closed formats, standard online converters fail to process them; they lack the complex mathematical engine required to render the 3D terrain meshes or the knitting logic.
Despite this, convert.guru offers a practical workaround. Drag and drop your .kcp file to see what it is and convert it if supported. The Kubla variant of the .kcp file is often a disguised ZIP archive. Our advanced analysis can identify this structure, bypass the proprietary limitations, and extract embedded XML data, images, or text, allowing you to salvage critical information without installing the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KCP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted KCB, KQP, KPF, PDF, EPUB, BMPR, MPP and RVT files.
If you want to convert KCP file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Kubla Cubed or similar software from the "Earthworks calculation project data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to KCP, try Kubla Cubed or another comparable tool in the "Earthworks calculation project data" 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 KCP converter.
