Opening a GPZ File

The GPZ file type is primarily associated with GPR-SLICE.

GPZ	File extension: GPZ
	File type:	compressed data file

What is a GPZ file?

GPZ files mostly belong to GPR-SLICE. GPZ files are container files that store specialized data. They usually hold ground penetrating radar survey results that are compressed with a ZIP structure.
These files may include:

GPR Data: Files that combine radar measurements with a GPS exchange format for precise location data. Software like GPR-SLICE or GPS Pathfinder Office is used to open these.

SAP Project Archive: In fewer cases, GPZ files act as compressed archives for SAP GUI projects.

FilExt.com tip: The file’s ZIP basis means you can sometimes rename a GPZ file to .ZIP and extract its contents with common archive tools, revealing underlying sensor logs or project files. For more on radar data files, visit GreenValley International or check SAP details at SAP.

How to open GPZ files

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

GPZ file format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the GPZ files looks like this:

As a file extension, GPZ isn't very common and is mainly used by one program with a specific format. But the following two file formats are common:

70% of all GPZ files internally use the ZIP format, the GPZ file contains a number of compressed files. Primarily 3 to 70 files are included. A little tip: If you rename the file extension to .zip and then double-click, you will see the included files and images. A typical file size is 5 MB. The file name PantherLogs_00197_20180601.gpz is typical for these files. These files are often associated with panther, logs, collection, project, accounts and backup.
15% of all GPZ files use the same file format, which have the signature 00 00 00 F0 08 8A 80 41 80 41 41 41 41 41 41 41. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The average file size is 11 MB with most files being between 480 KB and 72 MB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Some examples of file names are Project1.GPZ or Project3.GPZ.

All other GPZ files (15%) have different formats, frequently e.g. CRYP. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your GPZ file!

How to solve problems with GPZ files

Associate the GPZ file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open compressed data files. Because only the current version supports the latest GPZ file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available GPR-SLICE update.
To make sure that your GPZ file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
