Convert GTP to another file type
To convert GTP files to another format, you need Guitar Pro or other Data software.
Convert a file to GTP
To convert other file formats to the "Tablature / Gerber Paste Mask" file type, you need software like Guitar Pro or a similar tool.
About GTP files
A .GTP file usually serves one of two completely different purposes: a musical score created by Guitar Pro, or a Gerber Top Paste mask used in printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. Occasionally, it acts as a game data archive for titles like Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord or IL-2 Sturmovik. For musicians, .GTP is the legacy proprietary format from early versions of Guitar Pro. It stores guitar tablature, musical notation, and playback parameters. The main disadvantage is that it requires a paid $70 subscription software to open and is not natively supported by web browsers or standard media players. Sharing a .GTP file with a bandmate who does not own the software is frustrating. For electrical engineers, .GTP is a standard Gerber format file containing coordinate data for the top paste layer. This tells a manufacturing machine exactly where to apply solder paste for surface-mount components (SMD). While these are technically plain text files, they are completely unreadable to the human eye without specialized CAM software like Altium Designer. You need to convert these files to make them universally accessible. For sheet music, convert .GTP to PDF for easy printing, or to MusicXML and MIDI for editing in other digital audio workstations (DAWs). For PCB designs, converting the .GTP paste layer to PDF or SVG allows managers and clients to review the hardware design without installing a Gerber viewer.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GTP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert GTP file to ATP, INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV or PROPERTIES, you can use Guitar Pro or similar software from the "Guitar Tablature & PCB Design" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to GTP, try Guitar Pro or another comparable tool in the "Guitar Tablature & PCB Design" category.
The GTP 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 GTP converter.
