Extract text from connector files (MEZ)
To convert MEZ connectors to another format, you need Microsoft Power BI or other Plugin software.
To convert other file formats to the "Power BI Extension File" file type, you need software like Microsoft Power BI or a similar tool.
The .MEZ file is primarily used as a Power BI Custom Connector. It is essentially a ZIP archive containing custom Power Query M code, icons, and configuration data that allow Microsoft Power BI to connect to unauthorized or third-party data sources. A secondary, rarer use is for legacy music notation scores created by MusEdit or MusicEase.
The primary disadvantage of .MEZ connector files is that they are highly application-specific and tightly restricted. In Power BI, they require placing the file in a specific local directory and adjusting security settings to allow uncertified extensions to run. You cannot directly read the source code without extracting the archive first. For the music score variant, the format is proprietary and functionally locked to outdated software.
To manage Power BI connectors, the best conversion target is ZIP. Extracting the archive allows developers to inspect the underlying PQ (Power Query M scripts), XML, and PNG files. For music scores, users must typically rely on the original software to export to PDF or MusicXML to ensure compatibility with modern notation tools like Finale or Sibelius.
Because these files are either specialized system extensions or obscure proprietary music formats, standard online converters fail to process them.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MEZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PBIT, DAR and KPF files.

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 MEZ converter.
