About PKG files
A .PKG file is typically a software installation archive. On Apple systems, it is used to distribute Mac applications as an Apple XAR archive format. Sony PlayStation consoles also use .PKG for downloaded games and system updates. Other software, like Wallpaper Engine and PTC Creo, use the .PKG extension for animated scenes and 3D CAD data, often as a renamed ZIP archive. The major disadvantage of the .PKG format is its proprietary lock-in. Mac .PKG files cannot natively install on Windows, and PlayStation packages are encrypted and locked to the Sony ecosystem. Users often need to extract the internal contents to retrieve a specific graphic, audio track, or application binary, but opening them requires terminal tools or heavy third-party software. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software. For archiving or manual file extraction, convert your .PKG to a standard ZIP or .TAR.GZ. If you need a standard disk image format for mounting, convert it to ISO.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PKG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert PKG file to ISO, ELF, DMG, ZIP, BIN, MP4, OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX or BLEND, you can use Apple Installer or similar software from the "Software Installation Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to PKG, try Apple Installer or another comparable tool in the "Software Installation Archive" category.
The PKG 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 PKG converter.
