About NAR files
The .NAR file extension is primarily used as an archive format. Its most common applications are as a NiFi Archive used by Apache NiFi to bundle software components, or as a desktop mascot ghost package for the Ukagaka / SSP framework. In both of these cases, the file is structurally a standard ZIP archive. Another common use is as a Valve game archive for Nexon Counter-Strike Online. You cannot open a .NAR file directly in standard document viewers. Game archives and storage performance archives from Dell EMC Navisphere use proprietary structures. Niche applications like Corpus 3D design software use it as a closed cabinet design order file. This makes sharing or viewing the contents incredibly difficult without the exact parent software. Standard converters fail because they do not recognize the specific application payload inside. For Apache NiFi or Ukagaka mascot files, the easiest solution is to convert the .NAR file to a standard ZIP file, which allows you to extract the XML, scripts, and image assets inside. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format like ZIP or GZIP, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NAR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert NAR file to GAR, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, CAB, ACE or ARJ, you can use Apache NiFi or similar software from the "Application Data Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert XXE, 7Z, Z, PAK, LHA, DEB, UUE, TAR, LZH, ZIP, PKG or RAR files to NAR, try Apache NiFi or another comparable tool in the "Application Data Archive" category.
The NAR 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 NAR converter.
