The cap file extension is associated with BIOS update archives for some ASUS motherboards, including models in the P9X79, Rampage and Formula series.
An ASUS BIOS cap file stores the firmware update required to update or restore a motherboard BIOS. It can also be used with the USB BIOS Flashback recovery feature on supported boards.
The file is used with ASUS motherboard firmware tools rather than opened as a normal document. Compatibility is model-specific, so the file must match the target motherboard.
A cap file is normally used from a USB drive with the motherboard's ASUS BIOS utility, such as EZ Flash, or with USB BIOS Flashback on supported models. Follow the instructions for the exact motherboard; do not try to open it in an archive manager or text editor.
There is no useful general conversion for an ASUS BIOS cap file. It is a model-specific firmware update and should be used in its original form.
Some ASUS update procedures require the file to have a prescribed filename, but this is a naming requirement rather than a conversion. Do not edit the file's contents.

Java Card is a secure platform for applications running on smart cards and other resource-constrained, trusted devices. Its development tools convert Java Card applet classes into a CAP package.
The cap file contains the converted representation of an applet and its related components, including the information required to link and install it on a Java Card device. It is a binary deployment package rather than a source-code file.
CAP files are produced and used by Java Card development and deployment tools on supported desktop platforms. The format remains part of the Java Card application-development workflow.
A cap file is intended for use by Java Card development and deployment tools, not for direct viewing. Use the Java Card development kit or the tools supplied with the relevant Java Card environment to verify or deploy the package.
A general text or binary editor may show the file's raw data, but it will not present the converted applet in a useful, editable form.
A cap file is not intended for conversion to another file format. To change the applet, edit its Java Card source and use the Java Card development tools to build a new CAP package.
