Extract text from UNR files
To convert your UNR file to another format, you need Unreal Engine or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Level Design" file type, you need software like Unreal Engine or a similar tool.
A .UNR file is a binary level map used by legacy versions of the Unreal Engine (UE1, UE2, and UE3). It stores the geometry, lighting data, actor placement, and references to external assets (like textures and sounds) that make up a game world. These files are the backbone of classic titles like Unreal Tournament and MMORPGs like Lineage 2.
Users typically need to convert these files to modern formats (like UMAP or OBJ) to port classic maps into Unreal Engine 5, extract 3D assets for editing in Blender, or simply view level designs without installing the original game.
However, .UNR files are notoriously difficult to work with due to 'version locking' - a map saved in UE2 cannot be opened by UE4 directly. Furthermore, they are essentially useless without their dependency packages (macaroni files like UTX for textures and UAX for audio); if a single dependency is missing, the file often refuses to load.
For 3D editing, the best workflow is converting the map geometry to OBJ or FBX using extraction tools like UModel (UE Viewer). For upgrading to a newer engine, the file must often be exported to the text-based T3D format first.
Convert.Guru analyzes your UNR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted USX, PSK and PCC files.
If you want to convert UNR file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use Unreal Engine or similar software from the "Game Level Map" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to UNR, try Unreal Engine or another comparable tool in the "Game Level Map" 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 UNR converter.
