What is a TPZ file?

TPZ files mostly belong to TouchPortal. TPZ files come in two main forms:

  • TouchPortal Files: These are compressed archives using the ZIP format that store a TouchPortal page along with its configuration. They are used by the TouchPortal application to load custom user interface layouts and automation commands. You can open these files with any standard ZIP tool or directly through the TouchPortal app. More details are available on the Touch-Portal website.
  • Topaz eBook Files: In this form, the TPZ file is a container for Kindle dictionary data. It organizes the dictionary entries in a specialized format that works with Kindle and KindlePreviewer software. For further information, visit Amazon.

This file format blends a common compression method with custom data structures tailored for its respective application.
FilExt.com tip: If you have a TPZ file, check which application it belongs to before attempting any modifications.

How to open a TPZ file

You need a suitable software like TouchPortal to open a TPZ 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. If you cannot open your TPZ file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TPZ file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
