Extract text from Painter texture libraries (TEXTURELIBRARY)
To convert TEXTURELIBRARY texture libraries to another format, you need Corel Painter or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Texture Library Container" file type, you need software like Corel Painter or a similar tool.
A .texturelibrary file stores custom canvas, paper, and surface textures for Corel Painter. Digital artists use these files to group and organize materials that interact dynamically with digital brushes. When a user paints over a texture, the software simulates how real physical paint sinks into the grain of the paper.
The major disadvantage of the .texturelibrary format is that it is entirely proprietary and closed. It requires a paid license for Corel Painter to open natively. You cannot preview these files in web browsers, and standard viewers like Windows Photos or Apple Preview will fail to open them. This creates a significant barrier when artists want to share their custom textures with users on different platforms, such as Adobe Photoshop or Procreate.
To share these textures, users usually need to convert the data into standard raster image formats like PNG or JPG. Converting to PNG is recommended because it preserves the grayscale depth and fine grain details without compression artifacts. However, this file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert directly. Standard online converters fail because a .texturelibrary is an internal application container, not a standard image file. Often, only the original Corel software can properly read or export the structured data. If our analysis detects embedded raster images within the library archive, viewing or converting the individual textures may still be possible without needing the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TEXTURELIBRARY file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert TEXTURELIBRARY file to , you can use Corel Painter or similar software from the "Digital Art Texture Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to TEXTURELIBRARY, try Corel Painter or another comparable tool in the "Digital Art Texture Storage" 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 TEXTURELIBRARY converter.
