About PSR files
A .PSR file is most commonly a PowerBuilder Saved Report, a proprietary format originally developed by Sybase (now managed by Appeon). These files function as digital snapshots, encapsulating both the retrieved database data and the specific report layout (DataWindow) at the time of creation. While efficient for archiving business intelligence within the PowerBuilder ecosystem, .PSR files pose significant accessibility challenges today. They are not compatible with standard office suites like Microsoft Office or web browsers, often requiring the installation of the heavy PowerBuilder runtime or the discontinued InfoMaker tool just to view a single page. This proprietary lock-in makes sharing data with clients or colleagues difficult. To modernize your workflow, the most effective solution is converting .PSR to PDF for universal viewing and archiving. For users needing to analyze the locked financial or inventory data, converting to XLS (Excel) or CSV allows for immediate manipulation in spreadsheet software. Less frequently, a .PSR file may be a compressed backup for Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels, which are strictly for industrial restoration and not document conversion.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PSR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MHT, ZIP, DOCX, RPT, PNG, DOWNLOAD, DAT, CRDOWNLOAD, TXT, ASPX, SRD and PDF files.
The PSR 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 PSR converter.
