Extract text from video and data files (PGR)
To convert PGR data files to another format, you need Ladybug SDK or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Specialized Proprietary Data File" file type, you need software like Ladybug SDK or a similar tool.
The .PGR file extension primarily represents a Ladybug camera video stream used by spherical 360-degree cameras manufactured by Point Grey Research (now acquired by FLIR Systems). It is also frequently used as a Plasmagram chemical analysis data file by mass spectrometry hardware such as the IonScan 600 and FLIR Systems Griffin GC/MS to store trace signatures of explosives and narcotics. Other obscure variants include JSON-based pigeon racing results from Top-Ware PG-Relator, XML-based search exports from PowerGREP, and Geochemical Piper diagram plots from Groundwater Chart.
The main disadvantage of .PGR files is severe vendor lock-in. Ladybug video streams contain proprietary, unstitched panoramic data that standard video players cannot decode. Plasmagram files require expensive laboratory software to interpret. Text-based variants like PowerGREP or PG-Relator data use specific structural schemas that are confusing to generic parsing tools.
To make this data useful, you must convert it. For Ladybug camera files, convert the stream to MP4 or MKV to enable standard playback and web sharing. For text-based .PGR variants, converting to TXT, CSV, standard JSON, or XML allows you to open the data in Microsoft Excel or standard text editors.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PGR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted JPEG, PNG, JPG, PDF, M4F, BK2 and SNX files.
If you want to convert PGR file to , you can use Ladybug SDK or similar software from the "Spherical Video Stream Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to PGR, try Ladybug SDK or another comparable tool in the "Spherical Video Stream Data" 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 PGR converter.
