About PRF files
The .PRF file extension is a chameleon format used by distinct industries, most notably as a Performance File for Korg arrangers (like the Pa1000) and as an Outlook Profile File for Microsoft Outlook.
For musicians using Korg keyboards, these files store complex synthesizer sets and program data. The primary challenge is that these are proprietary binary files; users often cannot view or edit their setlists on a standard computer without specialized librarian software, making it difficult to share or archive configurations.
For IT professionals, the Outlook .PRF is a text-based configuration script used to automatically generate mail profiles. While useful for deployment, these files are often misunderstood by end-users who simply want to read the contained settings or migrate data. Additionally, the extension is used for scientific surface measurement data (by companies like Mahr and Taylor Hobson) and compressed prefill archives (using 7z compression).
Best Conversion Targets:
- For Korg Users: Convert/View as Text or Hex to verify data, or manage within manufacturer tools.
- For Outlook/Settings: Convert to TXT to audit configuration scripts without executing them.
- For Scientific Data: Convert surface profiles to CSV or XLSX for analysis in Microsoft Excel.
- For Archives (Dapodik): Rename to 7Z or ZIP to extract contents.
- For Documentation: Convert non-binary settings files to PDF for easy archiving.

The PRF 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 PRF converter.
