Extract text from Agisoft projects (PSZ)
To convert PSZ projects to another format, you need Agisoft Metashape or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Photogrammetry Project File" file type, you need software like Agisoft Metashape or a similar tool.
The .PSZ file extension is primarily used as an Agisoft Metashape Project Archive. Agisoft Metashape (formerly PhotoScan) is a professional 3D photogrammetry software used to generate 3D spatial data from 2D digital images. A .PSZ file acts as a container holding the entire photogrammetry workspace, including source photographs, dense point clouds, polygonal 3D meshes, and texture maps. Alternatively, the .PSZ extension is used for compressed PlayStation 2 game assets or older Compressed PostScript files.
The main disadvantage of the .PSZ format is its massive file size and strict software dependency. Because it bundles hundreds of high-resolution images and point clouds, these files frequently exceed several gigabytes. You cannot natively import a .PSZ file into general-purpose 3D software like Blender or Autodesk Maya or view them in web browsers. To share a 3D model, users must export the final calculated mesh from Metashape into universal target formats like OBJ, FBX, or GLTF.
This file format is difficult to open or convert directly because it is an intricate project folder structure, not a single standalone 3D object. Standard online converters fail to process it due to the extreme file size and proprietary XML-driven architecture. Often, only the original Metashape software can properly read, render, or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Because the .PSZ file is fundamentally built on a standard ZIP archive framework, our analysis can inspect the internal file tree, extract raw embedded images, and expose underlying geometry that might otherwise be locked behind an expensive software license.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PSZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PNG, PXZ, ZIP, ZIPX and PIZ files.
If you want to convert PSZ file to ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, CAB, ACE, ARJ or LHA, you can use Agisoft Metashape or similar software from the "3D Photogrammetry Project Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert XXE, 7Z, Z, PAK, LHA, DEB, UUE, TAR, LZH, ZIP, PKG or RAR files to PSZ, try Agisoft Metashape or another comparable tool in the "3D Photogrammetry Project Archive" category.
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 PSZ converter.
