Extract text from PRB files
To convert your PRB file to another format, you need Freeman Technology FT4 or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Scientific Analysis & Game Assets" file type, you need software like Freeman Technology FT4 or a similar tool.
The .PRB extension is a classic example of a "filename conflict," where multiple distinct software ecosystems use the same three letters for entirely different purposes.
Most commonly, a .PRB file contains Powder Rheometer Data generated by Freeman Technology FT4 instruments. These files store critical flow energy, aeration, and compressibility measurements used in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing. The primary problem here is the proprietary nature of the format; without the specific FT4 software suite installed on a licensed machine, this data is inaccessible to engineers who need to analyze it in Microsoft Excel or MATLAB. Users frequently need to convert these binaries into universal CSV or XLSX formats to perform independent statistical analysis or archiving.
Alternatively, your file might be a Space Debris Probability Database used by the ESA MASTER (Meteoroid and Space Debris Terrestrial Environment Reference) tool. These are specialized datasets used to model collision risks in orbit. While scientifically valuable, they are structurally rigid and often require conversion to plain text (TXT) for ingestion into other simulation engines or Python scripts.
In the gaming world, .PRB files serve as Property Files for the Metin2 engine (developed by Ymir Work), defining attributes for 3D buildings and objects. Modders often encounter "access denied" errors or garbled text when trying to edit these with standard text editors like Notepad++, necessitating specific unpacking tools to convert them to readable formats for modification.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PRB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VMS, SPX and TED files.

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 PRB converter.
