What is a BRO file?
A .BRO file is primarily a print publishing project file. Broderbund created this format for The Print Shop software. Users save page designs, brochures, and layout projects using this extension. Sometimes, .BRO files are actually renamed JPEG images used by the V&A Brothers image system. In other cases, they store 3D data as a Broadleaf Tree Model for software from Onyx Computing. It can also be a Bryce Plug-in file for 3D modeling software by DAZ Productions.
How to open BRO files?
If the file is a print layout, you need The Print Shop or Design & Print. If the .BRO file is a renamed image, any standard image viewer can open it if you change the extension to .JPG. If it is a 3D tree model, you need specific software from Onyx Computing.
Identify your BRO file
Because a .BRO file has multiple possible meanings, viewer.online/bro analyzes .BRO files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
Summary
Because .BRO files use the known DOC format, viewer.online/bro can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems.
