How to open file with .KAR extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .KAR file? Do you want to convert a .KAR file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .KAR

Full Name Developer Category
MIDI Karaoke Format N/A Audio Files
.KAR

The .KAR file extension is associated with karaoke files. This type of file is based upon a modified version of the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) file format that is used by many digital audio applications and devices. The KAR format was specially designed for the use of software and hardware-based sound systems to play karaoke music. It acts as a modified version of the popular MIDI file and allows users to incorporate lyrics into musical compositions.

KAR files are widely used in karaoke competitions and venues, as well as at home. To play this type of file, users must ensure they have a suitable application such as VanBasco, Kanto Player, Winlive, or MIDIZAP. These apps can open up the KAR file and render it in either an audio or video music format. In addition, some other audio applications such as WolfeTrax, Synthesia and Winmidi may also be able to open KAR files, depending on the system.

Similar Formats

KAR files are related to other similar MIDI-based formats such as .MID, .RMI, .XMI and .ASF. However, unlike these other formats which are mostly used for non-karaoke purposes, the KAR format was specifically designed for the purpose of karaoke activities.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .KAR) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .KAR extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .KAR file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .KAR extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .KAR extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .KAR file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .KAR file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .KAR file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .KAR file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .KAR file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .KAR file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
