About GAN files

A .GAN file is a project management schedule created by GanttProject, a free, open-source desktop application used for scheduling and resource management. These files structure project data using XML, encapsulating tasks, milestones, dependencies, and resource allocations in a hierarchical format.

While .GAN files are excellent for active project planning within the specific software, they present significant friction when sharing updates with clients or stakeholders who do not have the Java-based GanttProject application installed. The files cannot be natively viewed in web browsers, standard office suites like Microsoft Excel, or mobile devices. Furthermore, strictly relying on the proprietary .GAN format creates a dependency on specific desktop environments.

To ensure broader accessibility and data portability, users frequently need to convert these files. For sharing static snapshots of project timelines with executives, converting to PDF or raster images like PNG or JPG is ideal. For further data manipulation or integration with enterprise tools, converting the underlying XML data to Microsoft Excel (.XLSX) or CSV allows for flexible reporting. Additionally, migrating data to Microsoft Project (.MPP) formats is often necessary for compatibility with larger corporate project management ecosystems.

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

Users also converted GANTT, MPX, XML, MPP, CSV, PDF, ZIP, XLSX, PNG, PKPASS, EXE, TSX and INDD files.



The GAN Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our GAN converter.
