About GRK files

A .GRK file is a class gradebook database created by Gradekeeper, a desktop application used by educators to track attendance, assignments, and student performance. These files serve as the central repository for a teacher's semester data, storing everything from seating charts to weighted grade calculations.

The main problem with .GRK files is their proprietary nature; they function as a "walled garden" for your data. You cannot simply double-click a .GRK file to open it in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, nor can parents or administrators view the contents without owning a specific software license. This creates friction when migrating data to modern web-based Learning Management Systems (LMS) or when trying to access archived grades from previous years on a new computer. To unlock this data, the recommended workflow is converting the file to CSV or XLSX for spreadsheet editing and analysis, or to PDF if you strictly need to preserve the layout for printable progress reports and archiving.

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

Users also converted GRR, RBBAS and RBO files.
