Convert PRO6 to PRO

Verified by Adam B.· reviewed by FE Editorial ·updated Sep 10, 2026
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert PRO6 to PRO?
Yes - PRO6 converts to PRO.

Install ProPresenter 7 and use File > Import to bring in your ProPresenter 6 library or individual .pro6 documents; the app rewrites each slide into a .pro file automatically. The catch is that the internal format changed completely (Pro6 uses XML, Pro7 uses protocol buffers), so some custom styling, transitions, or media links may not carry over cleanly.

Also to PRO: PRI · PRO6X

Why convert PRO6 to PRO?

People convert .pro6 to .pro when they upgrade from ProPresenter 6 to ProPresenter 7, since Pro7 will not open old .pro6 documents directly and needs to migrate them into its current document format. The migration keeps your slides, text, and playlists usable in the newer version.

How to convert PRO6 to PRO

Import into ProPresenter 7 (same computer) EASIEST

The first launch of ProPresenter 7 offers to import your Pro6 libraries; if you skipped it, use File > Import > ProPresenter Library and select your Pro6 libraries to upgrade them into .pro files.

Import a single Pro6 document

In ProPresenter 7 choose File > Import and pick an individual .pro6 (or .pro5) document to convert just that one presentation instead of the whole library.

Migrate from a different computer

Install ProPresenter 6 on the new machine first, sync your Pro6 data over, then open ProPresenter 7 and let it upgrade that Pro6 data into .pro documents.

Quality & what to watch

  • The document engine changed between versions (Pro6 XML vs Pro7 protocol buffers), so complex formatting, transitions, or arrangements can shift or be lost.
  • Media is only referenced, not embedded, so linked images and videos may need to be re-linked after import if paths differ.
  • There is no standalone .pro6-to-.pro converter; the conversion only happens inside ProPresenter 7's own import.

Frequently asked questions

Can ProPresenter 7 open a .pro6 file directly?
Not by double-clicking it as-is; you import it through File > Import, and ProPresenter 7 upgrades it into its own .pro format.
Do I need ProPresenter 6 still installed?
On the same computer no, but when migrating to a new machine it helps to install Pro6 there first to sync data before upgrading to Pro7.
Will my media come across?
Slide text and layout migrate, but media is referenced by path, so you may need to re-point missing images or videos afterward.
Is the conversion reversible?
No - ProPresenter 7 .pro files cannot be opened back in ProPresenter 6, so keep your original .pro6 files as a backup.
