About GALLERYITEM files

A .galleryitem file is a proprietary content package used exclusively by SMART Notebook, the interactive whiteboard software standard in many classrooms. These files serve as containers for "Gallery Essentials" - individual assets like vector graphics, raster images, Flash animations (SWF), or interactive widgets - that teachers drag and drop into their lesson plans.

The primary limitation of this format is its dependency on the SMART ecosystem; you cannot double-click a .galleryitem file in Windows or macOS to preview the image or play the media inside. This lock-in becomes a major friction point for educators moving to other platforms (like Google Slides or PowerPoint) who want to migrate their legacy assets. However, technically, a .galleryitem is simply a renamed ZIP archive. To access the content without paying for a software license, the most pragmatic workflow is converting or extracting the file to standard formats. For static visuals, target PNG or JPG. For archiving or inspecting the full raw data (including the imsmanifest.xml metadata), converting to ZIP is the most reliable method.

Convert.Guru analyzes your GALLERYITEM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted NOTEBOOK, XBK and EVF files.
