Extract text from Greetings and 3D models (MHP)
To convert MHP Projects to another format, you need MakeHuman or other Other software.
To convert other file formats to the "Legacy & Project Files" file type, you need software like MakeHuman or a similar tool.
The .MHP file extension represents multiple distinct data formats depending on its exact origin. Historically, it was most commonly used as a multimedia greeting card project file created by legacy, obsolete software like Microsoft Picture It! or Microsoft Outlook Express. In modern contexts, it frequently acts as a 3D character model project file for the open-source software MakeHuman. It is also utilized as a compressed firmware update package for Teplocom heat meters or as a preset configuration for the Blokas MIDI Hub.
Handling .MHP files is incredibly frustrating because it is not a standardized format. A Microsoft Greetings .MHP file relies on a proprietary, closed ecosystem from the late 1990s and early 2000s, meaning modern web browsers and image viewers completely fail to read it. It essentially traps your photos and text inside a dead format. MakeHuman .MHP files are similarly restricted; they are strictly project files containing parametric slider data, not standard, universally readable 3D meshes.
Standard online converters cannot process these files because they lack the specific application logic required to render the greeting card layout or generate the 3D geometry from raw slider values. For 3D models, the best conversion targets are standard 3D formats like OBJ or FBX, though you must typically perform this export directly within the MakeHuman software. For legacy Microsoft Greetings files, converting the embedded MIME data to PDF or JPG is ideal to permanently preserve the visual layout.
Because these files contain proprietary binary structures or embedded data streams, they are notoriously difficult to open or convert externally. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru can still assist. Just drag and drop your file to identify the exact format, inspect the internal hex code, and view hidden text. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as standard MIME structures in greeting cards or GZIP compression in Teplocom firmware - viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MHP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MHT, PDF, MSG, EML and OFT files.
If you want to convert MHP file to , you can use MakeHuman or similar software from the "Project File Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to MHP, try MakeHuman or another comparable tool in the "Project File 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 MHP converter.
