What is a DPL file?

A DPL file is a dynamically linked library (DLL) used by Embarcadero Delphi and designed specifically for modular application development in Delphi’s package system. It contains precompiled components, units, or classes that developers use to package reusable code that functions across Delphi projects.

More Information

Embarcadero Delphi is an integrated development environment (IDE) that creates Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux applications. Developers use DPL files to extend Delphi applications by dynamically loading and linking libraries at runtime. This is particularly useful for component-based development, where custom user interface (UI) elements, database drivers, or other functionality can be packaged separately and integrated as needed, which makes development more efficient by reducing redundancy and ensuring consistency across projects..

NOTE: Versions 3 and earlier of Delphi used DPL files until Embarcadero Technologies replaced them with .BPL files in version 4.

How to open a DPL file

You can open DPL files with Embarcadero Delphi. For example, you can load a DPL file in a Delphi project (.DPR or .DPROJ file) by selecting Project → Options and click Runtime Packages under Packages.

A DPL file may also be a playlist created by Kakau PotPlayer, a free multimedia player for Windows. It contains a plain text list of one or more files, folders, and URLs that PotPlayer references to play back media, such as music or videos. PotPlayer users create playlists to organize audio and video they want to play back at certain times, whether relaxing at home, at a party, or during a presentation.
