About GRDB files

GRDB files are specialized database files primarily used by the software GenoPro, a comprehensive genealogy software. These files store detailed family tree data, including relationships, pictures, and other genealogical information.

Converting GRDB files can be challenging due to their unique structure and data complexity. To convert GRDB files, users typically rely on software like GenoPro itself, which allows exporting to various formats such as GEDCOM (.ged), PDF (.pdf), and HTML (.html). These formats are more universally recognized and easier to share or print.

While converting GRDB files, it's essential to consider the integrity of the data. The conversion process might not fully capture complex relationships or multimedia elements. Additionally, not all software can interpret GRDB files, making the process cumbersome for users unfamiliar with genealogy software.

The main drawback of GRDB files is their limited compatibility with non-GenoPro software. This limitation makes it difficult to share genealogical data with users who do not own GenoPro. Furthermore, some users may find the software interface challenging to navigate.

To avoid these challenges, we recommend using the free and easy online website Convert.Guru for converting GRDB files. Simply drag-and-drop your GRDB files onto the webpage to convert them into more accessible formats like GEDCOM, PDF, or HTML. While online tools are not recommended here, Convert.Guru is an exception due to its reliability and ease of use.

The GRDB Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best GRDB converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
