Extract text from MobyExplorer encrypted files (MCRP)
To convert MCRP encrypted files to another format, you need MobyExplorer or other Encoded software.
To convert other file formats to the "Encrypted Mobile Archive" file type, you need software like MobyExplorer or a similar tool.
A .MCRP file is a proprietary, encrypted file archive created by MobyExplorer, a legacy Java ME file manager and FTP client developed by Bermin Software. These files were heavily used on early feature phones to secure personal data and hide sensitive files behind a user-defined password.
Because .MCRP is a closed, proprietary format, it presents severe usability challenges on modern hardware. The file is mathematically locked, meaning it cannot be natively opened by modern web browsers, Windows, macOS, or standard mobile file managers. Worse, the original MobyExplorer application has been obsolete for over a decade. Without the original password and the exact decryption cipher, the internal data remains inaccessible.
Standard online converters fail to process .MCRP files because they cannot bypass the encryption layer. They read standard file headers, which are entirely scrambled in this format. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. To recover your data, your target should be to decrypt the archive back to its original underlying formats, such as TXT, JPG, or ZIP.
Despite these strict limitations, you can still inspect your file. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MCRP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 MCRP converter.
