About MTP files
The .mtp file extension typically represents a Labeling Project File created by Weidmüller M-Print PRO (or Murrplastik ACS), software used in industrial engineering to design markers for electrical cabinets, terminals, and cables. These files contain layout data, text, and symbol references that are proprietary and cannot be opened by standard image viewers or text editors. This creates a bottleneck when sharing designs with clients or production teams who do not have the paid licensing for the specific labeling software.
A secondary but critical industrial definition is the Module Type Package (MTP), governed by the VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658 standard. In this context, the .mtp file is actually a ZIP container holding Automation Markup Language (AML) files, used to integrate process equipment into control systems ('Plug & Produce'). Engineers often need to validate the contents of these packages without deploying them.
Conversion Targets:
- For Labeling (Weidmüller/Murrplastik): The best approach is to convert the .mtp project to PDF using the native software's 'Print' function (selecting a PDF printer). This ensures the layout is preserved for proofing.
- For Automation (NAMUR): Since these are ZIP archives, you can often simply rename the extension from .mtp to .zip to extract and view the internal XML/AML data using a text editor or browser.
- For Audio: Rarely, an .mtp file may be a MadTracker 2 Pattern. These should be converted to WAV or MP3 within MadTracker for wider compatibility.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MTP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MTP2, PAYSLIP_SEPTEMBER, MP3, MTS, PDF, WAV, TXT, JPG, ZIP, BWS and MP4 files.
The MTP Converter Story
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 MTP converter.
