About GGR files

A .GGR file functions primarily as a GIMP Gradient file. It stores mathematical color transition data used to apply custom gradients to raster images, shapes, and backgrounds within the GIMP image editor. Alternatively, the .GGR extension serves as a Guilty Gear Match Replay file, recording precise frame-by-frame player inputs for fighting games like Guilty Gear XX Accent Core and Guilty Gear Strive. The dual nature of this extension often causes confusion. .GGR files are highly specialized and not supported by web browsers or default operating system viewers. GIMP gradients use a plain-text structure specific to the GIMP ecosystem, making them incompatible with industry-standard design tools like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Guilty Gear replay files face an entirely different problem: they do not contain actual video data. They only store raw button inputs and timing metadata, requiring the deterministic game engine to render the visual match. Users often want to convert GIMP gradients to more universal formats like .SVG, CSS code, or Adobe's .GRD format to share presets across different design teams. For game replays, users typically hope to convert them to .MP4 or .WebM to share on social media. Because .GGR is a closed or application-specific format in both instances, standard online converters often fail to process it. Converting a game replay to video directly via a file converter is impossible; you must manually record the screen while the game plays the file. However, for design files, just drag and drop your file to identify the exact format, view its internal text structure, and convert it when possible. Our analysis can extract the raw RGB parameters from gradient files, helping you translate them into accessible formats.

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

Users also converted GRD, ZIP, JPG, RML, VMS and TMS files.

The GGR 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 GGR converter.
