Convert Outlook profiles (PRF) online for free
The converter easily converts your PRF profiles to various formats - free and online. No Microsoft Outlook or or other Settings software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Preference File" file type, you need software like Microsoft Outlook or a similar tool.
The .PRF extension is highly fragmented and used by dozens of different applications to store preference, profile, or performance data. Common uses include Microsoft Outlook profile configurations (often stored as UTF-16 text), Korg synthesizer performance banks, and Corsair iCUE gaming peripheral settings (stored as XML).
Because the .PRF format is a generic catch-all extension, opening it directly is often a gamble. Most of these files are proprietary and strictly locked to their parent software. For example, an Outlook .PRF cannot be opened by a Korg synth, and a Mahr metrology .PRF file requires specialized industrial software. This extension collision means users are often stuck with files they cannot natively read. Furthermore, some .PRF files are actually disguised archives (like Aplikasi Dapodik files which use 7Z compression) or even standard PDF documents used internally by tools like PDFium.
To make this data usable, conversion is highly recommended based on the file's true internal structure. For text-based or XML profiles, convert to TXT or XML to easily read and edit the configuration in any text editor. For archived profiles, convert to ZIP or 7Z to extract the internal database or assets. If the file is actually a renamed document, converting to PDF will restore its readability. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

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 PRF converter.
