What is a PR2 file?

PR2 files mostly belong to Game titles. PR2 files are used by different software and hold various types of data.

Game Save Files: Some PR2 files store game progress. They are used by titles such as Port Royale 3, Europa Universalis IV (by Prison Architect) and ETS2. Often these files are in a zip archive format. For ETS2 files, more details can be found on their website.

Video Project Files: Other PR2 files contain video project data. They are used with programs like ProShow Producer or as an alternative for Premiere Pro project files. They keep timelines, editing decisions, and settings.

Analyzer Data Files: A few PR2 files are created by specialized software such as BAGAS-ANALYSER to hold particle size analyzer data.

PR2 file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the PR2 files produces the following result:
