About PKR files

The .PKR file format is primarily used as a PGP Public Keyring file. It acts as a local database to store public encryption keys for Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) software. Users rely on these keys to encrypt messages and verify digital signatures. Alternatively, .PKR files are used as audio packages by game developers using Audiokinetic Wwise, or as data files for Shimadzu X-ray diffraction software. The main disadvantage of the .PKR keyring format is that it is a compiled binary file. You cannot read it with a standard text editor. It requires specific cryptographic software like GnuPG or PuTTY to manage the keys. Wwise audio .PKR files face similar limitations; they are proprietary containers. Gamers and modders often struggle to access the music or sound effects because standard media players cannot open them. To make keyring data readable or sharable on the web, you should convert or export the .PKR content into ASCII-armored text files, such as ASC or PUB. For Wwise audio files, the best targets are standard audio formats like WAV or OGG, though you need specific unpacker tools to extract them. Because .PKR files are highly specialized or proprietary containers, standard online converters fail to process them. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Our system can inspect the file, show internal text, and if we detect a supported underlying embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your PKR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted OPENPGP_SIGNATURE, STH and SAR files.

The PKR 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 PKR converter.
