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.

TPZ file format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). 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. Below you will find our evaluation of the TPZ files:
