Extract text from Report and configuration files (TUT)
To convert TUT Reports and configs to another format, you need Jaspersoft Studio or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Software Tutorial File" file type, you need software like Jaspersoft Studio or a similar tool.
.TUT files primarily serve as packaged software tutorial files for reporting and business intelligence applications like Jaspersoft Studio and i-net Clear Reports. A secondary use case is as a Java-based VPN configuration file for the Tunnel Tweak VPN application. Finally, a small percentage of these files store tutorial game data for the classic game Children of the Nile by Tilted Mill Entertainment.
The main disadvantage of the .TUT format is its application-specific nature. These files are highly proprietary in their intended use, meaning they lack native support in standard operating systems or web browsers. Without the exact parent application installed, users face annoying limits: the data is completely inaccessible. Standard online converters fail to process them because the extension shares multiple distinct, unrelated technical structures. Furthermore, tutorial variants of these files bundle large internal assets, causing storage inefficiencies if a user only needs the underlying text instructions.
For conversion, the best target format depends on the specific variant. If the .TUT is a packaged tutorial, it is technically a standard ZIP archive. Renaming the file to ZIP allows you to extract the internal HTML, XML, and JPG or PNG assets. If it is a VPN configuration file, it is plain text and can be read by converting it to TXT or CONF. Note that converting a tutorial package directly to a flat document format like PDF will fail, and you will lose the interactive directory structure.
Because these files are closed or act as specialized containers, they are difficult to open or convert directly. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the structured data. However, convert.guru provides a pragmatic workaround. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - like a standard ZIP directory or plain text - viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TUT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted JRXML, TAR and TAD 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 TUT converter.
