Extract text from PLC projects and presentations (KPR)
To convert KPR files to another format, you need KDT Systems K-GLO or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Specialized Project File" file type, you need software like KDT Systems K-GLO or a similar tool.
The .KPR file extension is a highly fragmented, proprietary format used across several unrelated niche software applications. Primarily, it functions as a PLC program project file for KDT Systems K-GLO software, a password recovery project state for Free RAR Password Recovery, a payroll contribution data file for NTS KOBRA, or a roofing calculation project file for Krovlya Profi. Legacy Linux users might also encounter it as a presentation file from the deprecated KOffice suite (KPresenter).
The biggest disadvantage of .KPR files is their strictly locked, proprietary nature. They lack cross-platform compatibility and cannot be opened without installing the specific, often expensive niche software that created them. Sharing a .KPR file with clients or external teams is typically a dead end, as web browsers, standard text editors, and common document viewers will fail to render the contents.
To make the data accessible, it is highly recommended to convert the contents into universal formats. Depending on the source application, the best conversion targets are PDF for roofing layouts and legacy presentations, CSV or XLSX for payroll data, and plain TXT or XML for PLC programming logic. Note that exporting to these formats usually strips away project-specific settings or application states.
Because .KPR files lack a universal standard, they are notoriously difficult to open or convert externally. The internal file structure changes entirely based on which software created it, meaning standard online converters invariably fail. However, just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the exact format, inspect the binary file, and reveal internal text. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KPR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted KVS, AUP3, MPP, MTP and LYS files.
If you want to convert KPR file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use KDT Systems K-GLO or similar software from the "Proprietary Project Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to KPR, try KDT Systems K-GLO or another comparable tool in the "Proprietary Project Data 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 KPR converter.
