Karaoke software and MIDI sequencers use KAR files, while Guitar Pro users need GP4 to edit or share tablature. Converting lets you bring the MIDI notes into a Guitar Pro-compatible score, but it does not automatically create guitar fingerings.
What the KAR format is
KAR is a karaoke file format based on Standard MIDI File data. It stores musical events and may include synchronized lyrics; karaoke applications and MIDI sequencers create or play it.
What the GP4 format is
GP4 is the Guitar Pro 4 tablature and notation format. It stores guitar-oriented score data, including tracks and instrument settings, for editing in Guitar Pro and compatible programs such as TuxGuitar.
How to convert KAR to GP4
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the KAR file on the converter page. Multiple files can be submitted as a batch; the page shows the per-file size limit.
- Choose GP4 as the output format and start the conversion.
- Download the converted GP4 file.
The conversion runs on the server with MuseScore, then alphaTab and PyGuitarPro.
Offline with desktop software
TuxGuitar is a free, open-source option for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Import the KAR file as MIDI; if it is not shown in the import dialog, make a copy with a .mid extension, then:
- Open File → Import → MIDI and select the file.
- Use File → Save As, choose Guitar Pro 4 format, and save with a
.gp4extension.
Quality and limitations
KAR contains MIDI notes rather than guitar tablature. The conversion can transfer musical events, but guitar tuning, string assignments, fingering, and playable arrangements may need manual editing. Karaoke lyrics may not be retained in the GP4 score.
