Convert REAPER Project (.rpp) to JSON

Inventory any REAPER session (.rpp) without installing REAPER: tempo map, tracks, media items with source files, markers, regions and FX chain plugins. Ideal for archiving sessions, migrating DAWs, or auditing a backup drive — entirely in your browser, nothing uploaded.

[ EXECUTION PROTOCOL ]

How to Convert RPP to JSON Locally

  1. PHASE 01 // STAGE SOURCE

    Load .rpp Payload

    Drag and drop your .rpp file onto the working surface or use the system file dialog. File magic bytes are verified locally on device.

  2. PHASE 02 // CONFIGURE

    Set Codec & Quality Parameters

    Select a quality preset (Lossless, Visually Lossless, Balanced, Smallest) or adjust advanced encoding switches in the options panel.

  3. PHASE 03 // COMPILE & EXPORT

    Export .json to Disk

    Click CONVERT to execute local WebAssembly compilation. Save the finished .json directly to local storage, or stage it for chaining.

Technical Details & FAQ

[?]I have a folder of .rpp files but no REAPER licence. What does this tell me?

Everything structural: the REAPER version that saved it, tempo and time signature, every track with its items and referenced audio/MIDI files, markers and regions, and every plugin in the FX chains — so you know what each session contains before deciding what to open.

[?]Can it recover the actual audio?

No tool can from the project file alone: .rpp files reference media on disk rather than embedding it. The JSON lists every source file so you can locate or relink them; rendering still needs REAPER.

[?]Does it support .rpp-bak backup files?

Yes — REAPER backups use the identical chunk grammar, so both extensions are accepted by the same parser.

[?]Are my unreleased sessions uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing runs entirely inside your browser. Unreleased music never leaves your device.

[?]Why convert from RPP to JSON?

RPP Document (RPP) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) serve distinct roles across the digital workflow. Converting to JSON provides optimized compatibility, modern compression efficiency, or standardized playback across web browsers, operating systems, and media production environments.

[?]Is the RPP to JSON conversion lossless or lossy?

The output format (JSON) is inherently lossless or supports lossless operation. Your original visual or audio fidelity is mathematically preserved without quantization artifacts.

[?]Does convrtr upload my files to any cloud server?

Never. convrtr is architected with a strict zero-upload model. All processing, decoding, decompression, and encoding happen 100% locally on your machine using sandboxed WebAssembly and Web Workers. Your data never touches an external server, database, or analytics collector.

[?]How can I convert RPP to JSON from the terminal / command line?

You can execute this conversion locally via command-line utilities such as ffmpeg, cwebp, or ImageMagick. For example: see the developer terminal recipe provided in the technical specifications dossier above. convrtr provides the identical local-first capability directly inside your browser without installing CLI packages.

[?]Can I batch convert multiple RPP files to JSON simultaneously?

Yes. You can drop multiple .rpp files into the instrument to process them concurrently in browser Web Workers, or click 'Open in Master Studio' to queue mixed formats, configure individual targets, and export as a single ZIP archive.
