What is an ARH file?

ARH files mostly belong to ProTool by Siemens. The ARH extension is a compressed file format associated with ProTool Software developed by Siemens.

Use: The project files of ProTool software have the extension PDB. These PDB files are compressed to ARH files to reduce file size and enable easy file transfer. Besides, the compressed ARH file also contains the configuration and tracking information related to these processes. The software configures the settings of specific machine processes by accessing the compressed ARH files.
Support: ProTool software can be installed on Windows machines. The compressed ARH files and the project's PDB file can be opened with the software. ARH files cannot be opened on Apple iOS devices.

How to open ARH files

You need a suitable software like ProTool to open an ARH file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.
