Bro files have no set definition, as there are no rules governing file extensions. They can be created by various programs for different purposes, such as 3D modeling or audio recording. Some software can convert bro files to more common formats.
Unfortunately, there’s no simple answer to what a bro file is because there are no rules, laws, or copyrights governing the use of file extensions. As a result, many programs create these files or save data in this format for different reasons and purposes. There are a few common uses for this file extension and common ways to convert one of the appropriate type into a different file format.
Bro files are created regularly by a program called Tree Professional Broadleaf Creator or OnyxTREE Broadleaf depending on the version. This program is a 3D modeler used to create trees and bushes. The created file can only be opened by the software that creates it, but the software can save its templates in a variety of formats making it able to be opened by other software.
Some Roland/Boss digital recording hardware devices record audio tracks in bro file format. Roland offers conversion software called BR Wave Converter that can convert these files to more common audio formats such as .wav or .aiff, or convert common audio file formats to .bro to be usable on your own hardware devices. This software can be downloaded from the Roland website.
Embroidery and stitch files created by Bits and Volts software are saved in this format, and a number of popular computer embroidery programs can read and convert these files. Broderbund’s Create a Booklet/Brochure Project software also saves brochures with the extension.
Bro, an open source Unix-based network intrusion detection system, uses the bro extension for internal policy scripts. There is no reason to convert these files because they contain information that is only relevant to this specific software.
