Extract text from PE files
To convert your PE file to another format, you need Hilti PROFIS Engineering or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "Anchor Calculation Project" file type, you need software like Hilti PROFIS Engineering or a similar tool.
A .PE file is most frequently a project file generated by Hilti PROFIS Engineering, a specialized software suite used by structural engineers to design and calculate anchor connections and base plates. These files, often structured in XML or JSON, contain critical engineering data including load values, base material specifications, and safety factor calculations.
The main drawback for .PE files is their strict dependency on the Hilti ecosystem; opening them requires a registered Hilti account and the specific software version used to create the file, which can create bottlenecks for stakeholders like architects or contractors who simply need to view the specs. Additionally, the .PE extension is occasionally used for Portable Executable files (the standard architecture for executables in Microsoft Windows), making it crucial to distinguish between a harmless engineering design and a potential system binary.
For engineering workflows, the best workaround is converting the .PE project data into universal formats. For documentation and client review, convert to PDF to freeze the design values. for interoperability with drafting teams, export geometry to DXF or DWG. If you need to analyze the load tables outside the software, converting the underlying XML/JSON structure to CSV or Excel (.XLSX) allows for easier data manipulation without the proprietary interface.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EXE, DLL, VTK, LPF, CTI, LB and ELF files.
If you want to convert PE file to LB, ELF, EXE, MSI, APP, DMG, DEB, RPM, PKG, RUN, SH or BAT, you can use Hilti PROFIS Engineering or similar software from the "Structural Anchor Design Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert JAR, APP, SCR, IPA, COM, AAB, PS1, DMG, VBS, EXE, XAPK or MSI files to PE, try Hilti PROFIS Engineering or another comparable tool in the "Structural Anchor Design Project" 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 PE converter.
