Extract text from SharePoint Web Part files (WEBPART)
To convert WEBPART Web Part files to another format, you need Microsoft SharePoint or other Web software.
To convert other file formats to the "Web Part Configuration File" file type, you need software like Microsoft SharePoint or a similar tool.
The .webpart file is a configuration file used by Microsoft SharePoint to define the properties, settings, and layout of a Web Part component. Built on standard UTF-8 encoded XML, these files dictate how a specific widget or module behaves on a SharePoint page.
While natively handled by Microsoft SharePoint, .webpart files are fundamentally plain text. The primary disadvantage of this format is its severe platform dependency; outside of a SharePoint environment, the file cannot render any visual interface or execute its intended function. It requires an active Microsoft server architecture to process the configuration and display the web component.
Users typically need to convert or extract data from .webpart files when migrating to another Content Management System (CMS) or when backing up configurations. The best target formats are XML, TXT, or JSON for code inspection and data portability. Converting a .webpart file will not magically produce a working widget in another CMS like WordPress, but it preserves the structural logic.
Because .webpart files are platform-specific configuration files, standard online document converters consistently fail to process them visually. However, you can drag and drop your .webpart file into convert.guru to instantly identify the format, inspect the file's raw XML structure, and safely extract the text data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying text format, viewing or conversion to basic developer formats is fully supported.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WEBPART file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PCG, USR and LPL 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 WEBPART converter.
