About WUP files
The .WUP file extension serves multiple, completely unrelated purposes. Most commonly, it is a proprietary network monitoring map file created by Progress WhatsUp Gold. It is also heavily used as a Wii U Package file for distributing console games, updates, and DLC. Less frequently, it acts as a timber construction CNC data file for WEINMANN machinery or a satellite receiver firmware update for ALI Corp chipsets. These files are highly restrictive. A WhatsUp Gold .WUP file is locked to its enterprise ecosystem. It contains network topology layouts, IP nodes, and structural links, but standard operating systems cannot read this data. Users typically need to convert these maps to PDF, PNG, or SVG to share network diagrams with stakeholders who do not have access to the software. However, exporting requires an expensive, active software license. Similarly, Nintendo Wii U .WUP packages are encrypted and hardware-specific. You cannot simply double-click them to play a game on a PC. They must be installed on modified console hardware using tools like WUP Installer, or decrypted using specialized homebrew utilities like CDecrypt to extract the raw game data for the Cemu emulator. Weinmann timber files face the same lockdown; they are essentially raw machine instructions useless outside of Weinmann WUPEditor. Because these are closed, proprietary formats, standard online converters fail to process them. They do not contain simple text or standard media. Only the original software can properly read, parse, or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, view its metadata, and convert it when possible. We will inspect the file's internal headers and show text or embedded content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WUP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert WUP file to WUX, TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD or LOCK, you can use WhatsUp Gold or similar software from the "Network Map or Game Package" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to WUP, try WhatsUp Gold or another comparable tool in the "Network Map or Game Package" category.
The WUP 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 WUP converter.
