Extract text from Geekbench 5 benchmark results (GB5)
To convert GB5 benchmark results to another format, you need Geekbench 5 or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Benchmark Result File" file type, you need software like Geekbench 5 or a similar tool.
A .gb5 file is a benchmark result file generated by Geekbench 5, a popular cross-platform utility that measures processor and memory performance. These files store detailed hardware diagnostics, system information, and the final numeric scores for single-core and multi-core CPU or compute tests.
The primary software used to generate and manage these files is Geekbench 5 by Primate Labs. Users typically create these files when running hardware tests offline, saving Geekbench 5 Pro results, or exporting their metrics for archival and comparison.
The main disadvantage of the .gb5 format is its unrecognized file extension. By default, most operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) do not know how to open a .gb5 file natively. This causes friction when sharing benchmark results with IT teams or friends who do not have Geekbench installed. Furthermore, while the Geekbench Browser displays these results beautifully online, manual offline uploads can sometimes be restricted depending on your license.
Fortunately, standard conversion targets are very effective here. Underneath the custom extension, the file is simply formatted as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). This means you can convert .gb5 to JSON or TXT to easily read the raw metrics in any code editor. You can also convert the text output into a PDF for easy sharing and permanent record-keeping. Note that converting to plain text or PDF loses the polished graphical UI of the official Geekbench results page.
Because .gb5 is a niche, application-specific extension, many standard online converters fail to process it simply because it is not in their whitelist. Since our analysis detects the supported underlying JSON format, viewing the internal content and converting it to standard text formats is highly effective.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GB5 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert GB5 file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Geekbench 5 or similar software from the "Benchmark Result Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to GB5, try Geekbench 5 or another comparable tool in the "Benchmark Result Storage" category.
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 GB5 converter.
