Guitar Pro 5 and compatible tablature editors cannot open Guitar Pro 6 CAPX files, so converting them is necessary when sharing a score with users of older software. GP5 is also useful when a project must be edited in legacy Guitar Pro workflows.
What the CAPX format is
CAPX is a compressed Guitar Pro 6 tablature file. It stores musical notation and guitar tablature, including tracks and score information, and is typically encountered in projects made or saved with Guitar Pro 6.
What the GP5 format is
GP5 is the Guitar Pro 5 file format for tablature and multitrack scores. It is useful for exchanging editable arrangements with Guitar Pro 5 and compatible programs, but it does not represent every feature introduced in later Guitar Pro versions.
How to convert CAPX to GP5
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the CAPX file on this page. The converter supports batch conversion; each file must be within the size limit displayed on the page.
- Choose GP5 as the output format and start the conversion.
- Download the resulting GP5 file or files.
The conversion uses MuseScore, alphaTab and PyGuitarPro.
Offline with desktop software
Guitar Pro 6 can open CAPX and export to the older GP5 format. Open the file, then choose File → Export → Guitar Pro 5 (the menu wording may vary by release) and save the exported file with a .gp5 extension. Guitar Pro 6 was released for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Free tablature editors such as TuxGuitar are useful for GP5 files, but do not provide a dependable direct CAPX-to-GP5 conversion workflow; use a program that can read CAPX for the export step.
Quality and compatibility
Because GP5 predates Guitar Pro 6, conversion may omit or alter features that GP5 cannot store, including some newer notation, effects or playback details. Review the exported score in a GP5-compatible editor, especially track tuning, articulations, tempo changes and playback.
