About GP5 files

A .GP5 file is a multi-track musical score saved by Guitar Pro 5, the industry-standard tablature editing software developed by Arobas Music. These files contain musical notation, guitar/bass tablature, and MIDI sequencing data for playback.

A common frustration with .GP5 files is their proprietary binary nature; they are not human-readable text files and require specific software to open. While .GP5 was the dominant format for online tab sharing for over a decade, it has been superseded by newer formats (.GPX, .GP). Users often find themselves unable to view these files without purchasing a Guitar Pro license or struggling with compatibility issues in free viewers like TuxGuitar. Additionally, mobile devices and web browsers cannot natively display these scores.

To overcome these limitations, convert .GP5 files based on your needs:

For Printing & Sharing: Convert to PDF to create a universally viewable sheet music document.
For Audio Production: Convert to MIDI to import the note data into DAWs like FL Studio or Ableton Live.
For Editing: Convert to MusicXML to transfer the score into other notation software like MuseScore or Sibelius.

Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your GP5 file.
