What is a BCP file?
A .BCP file can hold different kinds of data depending on the program that created it. Most commonly, it is a BIMcollab project file used by BIMcollab ZOOM to share building information modeling data. Another frequent use is a database bulk copy data file generated by the Microsoft SQL Server Bulk Copy Program.
The .BCP extension also has several other uses. It can be a BlackMagic Custom Palette created by NeuralTek, a system backup archive for Bosch and Avaya systems, or a business card design file from Business Card Designer Plus.
How to open BCP files?
Because .BCP has multiple possible meanings, it is important to identify the actual format of your file. viewer.online/bcp analyzes .BCP files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
If you already know the origin of the file, you can use the native software. You can load project files into BIMcollab ZOOM or import data extracts back into Microsoft SQL Server.
Best practices and troubleshooting
If you cannot access the contents of your .BCP file, we recommend file conversion to sensible target formats on convert.guru. For example, database extracts can often convert to .CSV or .SQL.
Sometimes, a .BCP file is just a compressed archive. The system backup files for Bosch and Avaya actually use standard ZIP compression. You can change the extension to .ZIP to open the folder and extract the contents.
Summary
Because many .BCP files use the known XML format, viewer.online/bcp can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems.
