What is an SPZ file

SPZ files mostly belong to Crestron Studio. SPZ files may refer to several different specialized data containers.
  • Control Program Archives: These files use a ZIP framework to hold Crestron control programs for building automation. They work with tools like Crestron Studio and are detailed at Crestron.
  • Spectrum Data Files: Here, the files store spectrometer measurements. They are associated with devices from Qmini and Avantes Spectrometer, with more details at RGB Laser Systems.
  • Compressed PNG Image Files: In some cases the extension marks a container for a PNG image, as seen with Space Haven assets used by Space Pirates and Zombies. More info is available at Space Pirates and Zombies.
  • Serialized Python Objects: Other SPZ files contain Python serialized data or even compressed ROM images, a format sometimes linked to projects like Spazmo (spaz.ca).
  • FilExt.com note: Use the file’s origin to choose the correct application to open and view its contents. Some may open with common decompression tools if they follow traditional ZIP or PNG structures, while others require vendor-specific software.

    How can I open an SPZ file?

    You need a suitable software like Crestron Studio to open an SPZ 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 SPZ file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SPZ file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
