Extract text from Dynamics NAV settings (ZUP)
To convert ZUP settings to another format, you need Microsoft Dynamics NAV or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "ERP Configuration Profile" file type, you need software like Microsoft Dynamics NAV or a similar tool.
The .ZUP file extension is primarily used by Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision) to store user personalization settings. It saves interface configurations like window positions, column layouts, and applied filters. Alternatively, a .ZUP file can act as a compressed SCORM e-learning course package created by Articulate Storyline, or a CNC controller binary image for hardware manufactured by Z-Axis, Inc.
The main disadvantage of the Navision .ZUP format is its proprietary, closed binary structure. It cannot be easily read, edited, or transferred outside of the Microsoft ERP environment. Users frequently encounter corrupted .ZUP files, forcing them to delete the file entirely and lose all custom interface settings just to restore software functionality. Furthermore, the format is completely unsupported by standard text editors, browsers, or typical office software. For the SCORM variant, the file is simply a standard ZIP archive masquerading under a different extension.
When dealing with a Navision settings file, direct conversion to standard formats like XML or CSV is heavily restricted. Because this is a closed, proprietary format, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Standard online converters fail to process these files. However, if your file is an e-learning package, the best target format is ZIP, which allows you to extract the underlying XML manifests and HTML course assets.
Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to see what it is and convert it if supported. Our platform inspects the internal file signatures. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as a standard ZIP archive - viewing or extracting the internal content may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ZUP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 ZUP converter.
