About PUI files

The .pui extension is utilized by two distinct, high-tech industries, creating significant confusion for users trying to open them.

1. Telechips Packaged User Interface (Primary Format)

Most frequently (approx. 58%), a .pui file is a Packaged User Interface created for Telechips automotive infotainment systems (IVI) and digital cockpits. These files act as containers for graphical assets, layout definitions, and logic used in vehicle dashboard displays.

The Problem: These are highly proprietary binary or archival formats intended for compilation onto embedded hardware (like the TCC805x chipset). They are not designed to be opened by standard image viewers or text editors.
The Solution: Development teams typically "convert" these by compiling them into a firmware binary using the Telechips SDK. For reverse engineering or asset extraction, users may attempt to treat them as archives (similar to ZIP), though success varies based on encryption.

2. Siemens NX Post Builder File (CAM Format)

In the manufacturing sector (approx. 23%), the .pui file is the source project file for Siemens NX Post Builder. It stores the interface settings and logic required to generate a specific Post Processor (which turns CAM data into G-code for CNC machines).

The Problem: A common friction point for CNC programmers is losing the .pui file while retaining the generated def and tcl files. Without the .pui, you cannot open the post processor in the easy-to-use Post Builder GUI to make edits; you are forced to edit the raw TCL code manually, which is error-prone and difficult.

Convert.Guru analyzes your PUI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted ANOM, PCG and PCP files.

The PUI 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 PUI converter.
