About TPB files

A .tpb file typically functions as a Touch Portal Button file. Touch Portal is a macro control application that turns mobile devices into remote control decks for PCs, similar to an Elgato Stream Deck. The file stores actions, visual states, and event triggers for a single button or macro. Less commonly, it is a legacy binary input file for GROMACS, a molecular dynamics package. Users often need to convert these files because the format is locked to its specific software ecosystem. Touch Portal .tpb files are structured entirely as JSON, but managing large amounts of macros inside the app's GUI is tedious, prompting users to seek text-based batch editing. GROMACS binary files are entirely unreadable without specific command-line tools. Target formats for Touch Portal files include JSON or TXT for code inspection, and CSV for tabular macro analysis. Standard online converters fail to process .tpb files because they lack parsing engines for these niche app-specific formats. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects the supported underlying JSON text format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

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

Users also converted RTP, TRR and ENE files.

The TPB 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 TPB converter.
