About PR2 files

A .PR2 file is a highly fragmented file extension used by several completely unrelated software systems. Most commonly, it functions as an algorithm teaching project file in Procuste, an uncompressed game archive for Euro Truck Simulator 2, a video project file in ProShow Producer, or a legacy printer driver for Ashton-Tate dBase IV. Additionally, specialized industrial hardware like the MRU BAGAS-ANALYSER uses this extension for raw gas analyzer data dumps.

These proprietary formats are extremely frustrating for end-users. A .PR2 file generated by ProShow Producer or Procuste is useless without an active installation of the original software. You cannot upload a video project file to web browsers, nor can you open an industrial gas analyzer data file in standard spreadsheet software. The dBase IV driver files are obsolete binary instructions that hold no user-readable documents. Because these formats are closed and undocumented, generic online converters will fail to process them.

If your .PR2 file is a game archive from Euro Truck Simulator 2, your best conversion target is a standard ZIP file, which is often achieved by simply renaming the extension. For video projects, you must use the original software to export the timeline into standard MP4 or AVI formats.

Converting these files directly without the native application is virtually impossible because only the original software contains the specific logic required to parse the proprietary data structures. However, you can use our tool as a practical workaround.

Convert.Guru analyzes your PR2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PDF, VTX, EXPORT, XTX and PR1 files.
