About PRC files

The .PRC extension primarily identifies a Mobipocket eBook file or a Product Representation Compact (PRC) 3D model. Mobipocket files are legacy digital books initially built on the Palm Resource Compiler database format. They were used by early Amazon Kindle devices and the discontinued Mobipocket Reader. As a 3D format, PRC is defined by the ISO 14739-1 standard and is used to embed highly compressed 3D geometry and manufacturing data into PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat. The extension also rarely appears as legacy Palm OS Resource files, Corel Presentation files, or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate configuration parameters.

Both major uses of this format face severe limitations today. Mobipocket is essentially a dead format; modern e-readers, web browsers, and mobile apps do not support it natively, forcing you to rely on clunky legacy software. It lacks support for modern typesetting, scalable vector graphics, and advanced DRM. Similarly, PRC 3D files are highly specialized. Because they are designed for final viewing inside PDFs, extracting and editing the raw 3D geometry in standard CAD software is extremely difficult without expensive reverse-engineering tools.

For reading text, you must convert the eBook. Convert to EPUB for universal support on Apple Books and Android, or AZW3 for modern Kindle devices. If archiving for fixed layout, convert to PDF. For 3D models, converting to standard CAD formats like STEP, OBJ, or U3D allows editing in AutoCAD or Blender. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

The PRC 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 PRC converter.
