About W01 files
A .w01 file is most frequently a proprietary HMI application window used by Wonderware InTouch (now AVEVA InTouch HMI). These files define the graphical user interface screens for industrial automation systems.
The Problem: These are legacy, binary-encoded files locked into the InTouch ecosystem. You cannot open them with standard image viewers, web browsers, or text editors. To view a 15-year-old HMI screen, you typically need a licensed, compatible version of the WindowMaker development environment, which can cost thousands of dollars. Users often struggle to migrate these legacy screens to modern formats for documentation or compliance.
The Solution: For Wonderware files, the goal is usually "conversion" to PDF or PNG for reference. Since no third-party converter exists, the only accurate method is using the original software to "Print to PDF" or capture screenshots.
Alternative Use (Split Archives): A .w01 file is also commonly a split archive volume, often created by Samsung Recovery or Windows backup utilities. In this context, it is "Part 2" of a compressed set (following a .w00 or .exe).
The Constraint: You cannot open a backup .w01 file in isolation. It contains incomplete binary data. You must possess the entire sequence of files in the same folder to extract the contents using tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR.

The W01 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 W01 converter.
