GP5 to MIDI Converter — Free Online, No Install

A GP5 file is a tablature project saved by Guitar Pro 5 or a compatible program. Unlike an audio recording, it stores the whole score as structured data: every note's string, fret, pitch, timing, and duration for each instrument track, plus tuning, tempo, time signature, chord names, and notation. It is the Guitar Pro equivalent of a MIDI score with extra tab and technique information.

MIDI is the universal format every DAW, notation app, and sampler understands. Converting your Guitar Pro tab to MIDI lets you open the exact notes in FL Studio, Ableton, Logic, GarageBand, MuseScore, Sibelius, or any other music software — perfect for swapping virtual instruments, printing sheet music, or sharing the arrangement with collaborators who do not own Guitar Pro.

Yes — and that is a big advantage. Audio-to-MIDI tools try to guess notes from a recording and often miss. This GP5 to MIDI converter reads the note data directly from the tab file, so it is a precise data conversion, not a transcription. Pitches and timing match your tab note for note, with no guessing involved.

No. Everything runs in your browser. There is no Guitar Pro license, no desktop app, no registration, and no upload. If you can open a browser, you can convert a GP5 file to MIDI on Windows, Mac, Linux, or even a Chromebook.

No. The file is parsed entirely on your device. The notes, tracks, and tunings never leave your computer — there is no upload step and no server involved, so your tabs stay completely private.

Yes. Each instrument track in your Guitar Pro tab becomes its own MIDI track in the exported file, so guitar, bass, drums, and other parts stay separated for independent editing. Track names and standard tunings are carried over.

Drum tracks in Guitar Pro use percussion notation rather than fretted notes, so the exported MIDI represents them as pitches on the percussion part. For the cleanest result, most users keep drums simple in the tab or re-trigger them with a drum VST after export. Melodic tracks (guitar, bass, keys) convert with full fidelity.

Technique markings such as slides, bends, vibrato, and hammer-ons are read from the file, but MIDI has no standard way to express them, so they are simplified into base notes. This matches how Guitar Pro's own MIDI export works — the important part is that every note's pitch and timing are preserved.

Yes. Converting Guitar Pro tabs to MIDI here is completely free and requires no signup. Because it is a lightweight local data conversion, there is no minute limit and no file size limit beyond what your browser can handle.
