Extract text from Plugin and preset files (NAP)
To convert NAP Plugin files to another format, you need Omnesys NEST Trader or other Plugin software.
To convert other file formats to the "Trading or Audio Plugin" file type, you need software like Omnesys NEST Trader or a similar tool.
The .NAP file format serves multiple distinct purposes depending on the software environment. Primarily, it functions as a trading algorithm plugin for Omnesys NEST Trader, a popular algorithmic trading platform. In this context, the file contains compiled executable code (functioning similarly to an EXE or DLL) that dictates automated trading strategies. Alternatively, .NAP files operate as arpeggiator presets for the reFX NEXUS2 digital synthesizer, storing sequence data for electronic music production. Other less common uses include legacy Napster secured music files and McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) deployment packages.
Users often seek to convert or open .NAP files when migrating trading strategies to platforms like MetaTrader, or when trying to extract audio presets for different synthesizers. However, the current format is highly restrictive. Because NEST Trader plugins are compiled binaries, you cannot edit the trading logic without the original source code. Similarly, NEXUS2 presets are encrypted and locked to the reFX ecosystem, making them useless in other digital audio workstations without the native plugin. This proprietary lockdown means files easily become dead weight if you cancel your subscription or change software environments.
Standard online converters fail to process .NAP files because they are closed, proprietary formats. You cannot directly convert a compiled NEST plugin into an .MQL4 file for MetaTrader, nor can you easily switch a NEXUS preset into a universal MIDI file. The original software is almost always required to export the raw data.
Despite these strict limitations, you can use convert.guru to bypass the obscurity. Just drag and drop your file to identify the exact format, view its internal hex data, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects an underlying standard format - such as embedded text strings or standard executable headers - we can help you inspect the contents safely without running potentially malicious code.

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 NAP converter.
