What is a KSP file?

KSP files mostly belong to KeyShot.

The KSP file is a KeyShot Package used by KeyShot to store a complete 3D project. Internally, it is a ZIP archive that holds all the assets, settings, and scene data needed to recreate a project.

You can open a KSP file with the KeyShot software. The package bundles important elements such as:

Scene settings that control lighting and camera views

Materials and textures applied to 3D models

Project assets required for rendering

FilExt.com note: Although extraction tools for ZIP archives may let you see the contents, using KeyShot preserves the file structure and ensures proper loading of the project. For detailed information, visit the KeyShot website.

How to open a KSP file

You need a suitable software like KeyShot to open a KSP 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 KSP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a KSP file directly in the browser:.

A *.KSP file is a KeyShot Package, the native project file format used by KeyShot, a 3D rendering and animation software. It stores all the scene elements, including 3D models, materials, lighting, cameras, and animation data, allowing users to save and load their entire project. The file format is based on the ZIP archive format, which means it can be opened with archive managers to access individual components, although modifying them directly is not recommended. KeyShot packages are primarily used for creating photorealistic images and animations of 3D models. This file format is classified as 3D Graphics.
