Source format: GP
GP usually refers to a Guitar Pro tablature file, most commonly .gp3, .gp4, .gp5, or newer Guitar Pro project formats. These files are used to store guitar tabs, standard notation, chord diagrams, tempo, effects, and playback data. They are typically opened in Guitar Pro or compatible notation software such as TuxGuitar. A GP file is not an image, so it must be rendered before it can become a PNG.
Target format: PNG
PNG is a lossless raster image format widely supported across operating systems, browsers, and document workflows. It is a good choice when you want a static visual snapshot of a score or tab page. PNG preserves sharp text and line art well, supports transparency, and is easy to view, embed, print, or share without requiring music software.
How to convert gp to png
The best method is to open the GP file in notation software and export or print it as an image. If you only need a quick conversion, you can also use the free online converter on 101convert.com without installing software.
- Open the GP file in Guitar Pro or a compatible editor such as TuxGuitar.
- Check the layout first: adjust page size, margins, zoom, and staff spacing so the tab fits cleanly on the page.
- Use the export or print function. In many programs, look for File → Export or File → Print.
- If the program offers image export, choose PNG as the output format and save the file.
- If direct PNG export is not available, print to a PDF first, then convert the PDF pages to PNG using desktop tools such as ImageMagick or GIMP.
- For multi-page scores, export each page separately or generate a PNG for each page in the document.
Example workflow with a desktop app: open the file, choose File → Export → Image if available, select PNG, and save the result. If your software only supports printing, use File → Print and send the output to a PDF printer, then rasterize the PDF pages to PNG.
Notes on quality and limitations
PNG is a static image, so the result will not preserve the editable structure of the GP file. You will lose playback, note editing, transposition, and interactive tablature features. For best quality, export at a high resolution so text and staff lines remain sharp. Very dense scores may require multiple pages or a larger canvas to stay readable.
Compatibility is generally excellent because PNG is supported almost everywhere. However, if the GP file contains unusual fonts, symbols, or layout settings, the appearance may vary slightly depending on the software used for export. If you need a quick no-install option, you can convert the file on 101convert.com for free.
