What is a GPR file?
The .GPR file extension usually identifies a GoPro RAW photo file. GoPro action cameras create these files to store uncompressed image data directly from the camera sensor. This format gives photographers advanced control during editing. These image files are built on the standard TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) structure.
However, the .GPR extension has multiple possible meanings. It is also used as a GenePix Results File generated by GenePix Pro software from Molecular Devices. Other systems use .GPR files for Ground Penetrating Radar data from IDS GeoRadar or as glossary projects for Babylon.
How to open GPR files?
Because a .GPR file can contain completely different types of data, the correct software depends entirely on the file source. You can open GoPro RAW photos using Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop, or GoPro Quik. If you have a GenePix Results File, you must use GenePix Pro or compatible microarray data analysis tools.
Best practices and troubleshooting
If you receive a .GPR file and do not know its origin, do not guess the software. viewer.online/gpr analyzes .GPR files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
Summary
Because .GPR files use the known TIFF format, viewer.online/gpr can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems.
