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 "SharePoint Configuration XML" file type, you need software like Microsoft SharePoint or a similar tool.
A .WEBPART file is an XML-based configuration document used exclusively by Microsoft SharePoint. These files define the specific properties, state, and assembly information for a single "Web Part" - a modular UI component (like a calendar, list, or graph) that sits on a SharePoint page. Users often encounter these files on their local drives after accidentally clicking "Export" on a SharePoint widget, or when a developer sends a configuration to be deployed.
A common problem with .WEBPART files is that they are useless outside of a live SharePoint environment. You cannot double-click to "run" the widget or see the visual content it displayed in the browser; the file contains only metadata and code instructions, not the actual data (like the list items or documents) the Web Part was displaying. Furthermore, attempting to open them in a standard web browser often results in a raw XML tree view, which is confusing for non-technical users.
To make the file content accessible, converting to TXT or XML is recommended for inspection, allowing you to view the GUIDs and property settings in any text editor. For documentation, auditing, or archiving server configurations without maintaining a SharePoint instance, converting the code structure to PDF is the most practical solution.

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.
