The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Settings formats to GPL with high quality output.
The .GPL file extension is most prominently associated with GIMP Palette files, utilized by the open-source image editor GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). These files serve as containers for color swatches, storing lists of RGB color values and their corresponding names in a plain text format. They are widely supported by other open-source tools like Inkscape and Krita.
While .GPL files are excellent for maintaining consistent color schemes across open-source projects, they present significant friction when working in mixed-software environments. They are not natively supported by industry-standard tools like Adobe Photoshop, meaning designers cannot directly import these palettes into Creative Cloud workflows without conversion. Furthermore, because the file is essentially a data list, standard image viewers and web browsers cannot visualize the colors; opening a .GPL file usually just launches a text editor or prompts an 'Unknown File' error.
To overcome these limitations, users often convert .GPL files based on their immediate needs:
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your GPL file.
Users also converted PNG, ASE, ACO, JPG, TXT, GBL, JPEG, PAL, ACT, PDF, CS, GIF and RPL files.
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 GPL converter.
