Extract text from TR2 files
To convert your TR2 file to another format, you need Tomb Raider II or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Level Data File" file type, you need software like Tomb Raider II or a similar tool.
The .TR2 file extension represents a diverse set of formats, most frequently serving as a Tomb Raider 2 Level file used by the classic Core Design engine. These binary files contain the complete architecture of a game level, including room meshes, textures, lighting data, and entity triggers. Modders and enthusiasts often seek to open these files to extract assets or play custom levels using engines like TR2Main or edit them with Tomb Editor.
Alternatively, in industrial settings, a .TR2 file is a Material Testing Data Export generated by ZwickRoell testXpert software. These files store raw tensile or compression test results which engineers typically need to convert to CSV, XLSX (Excel), or PDF for analysis and reporting. Finally, users of Cakewalk SONAR or BandLab Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) may find .TR2 files in their "Picture Cache" folders. In this context, the file is merely a visual waveform cache - not an audio file - and is often a source of friction when it becomes corrupted, leading to graphical glitches in the timeline. Users dealing with the latter often attempt to "convert" them to audio, not realizing they should simply be deleted to force the software to regenerate them.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TR2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MESHWORLD, LEVEL8, LVL and TR1 files.

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 TR2 converter.
