Convert PRO6 to TXT

Verified by Adam B.· reviewed by FE Editorial ·updated Sep 9, 2026
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert PRO6 to TXT?
Yes - PRO6 converts to TXT.

The fastest path is ProPresenter 6's own File > Export > Text, which writes a .txt keeping only line and paragraph breaks. If you no longer have ProPresenter, run the file through the open-source ProPresenter-Parser to read the XML and dump the lyrics.

Also to TXT: RTF · KKSRC · HVE

Why convert PRO6 to TXT?

A .pro6 document stores each slide's text inside an XML structure, but that raw markup is not readable on its own. People convert to .txt to get clean song lyrics or scripture text out for reuse in documents, other worship software, or archiving.

How to convert PRO6 to TXT

ProPresenter 6 built-in export EASIEST

Open the presentation in ProPresenter 6 and choose File > Export > Text. It saves a .txt with all formatting stripped except line and paragraph breaks.

ProPresenter-Parser OPEN-SOURCE

Use ChrisMBarr's ProPresenter-Parser (JavaScript) to read the .pro6 XML and extract slide lyrics, then write them out as plain text in your own script.

Because .pro6 is XML, parse it with any XML library, decode the Base64 RVTextData fields on each text element, and print the decoded lines to a .txt.

Quality & what to watch

  • The text export keeps only line and paragraph breaks - fonts, colors, sizes, positioning and slide backgrounds are all lost.
  • Non-lyric elements such as media cues, timers and stage-display notes are not carried into the .txt.
  • Slide text inside .pro6 is Base64-encoded RTF, so a naive plain-text grep of the file will return gibberish rather than readable lyrics.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Export to Text option in ProPresenter 6?
In the File menu under Export; you can also right-click the presentation in the Library and choose an export option.
Can I get the lyrics without ProPresenter installed?
Yes. Since .pro6 is XML, the open-source ProPresenter-Parser or a small script can read the file and output the lyrics as text.
Will the exported .txt keep verse and chorus order?
It keeps the slide order and line breaks, but it does not label sections as verse or chorus unless that text was typed into the slides.
Does this work on ProPresenter 7 .pro files too?
No. ProPresenter 7 switched to a binary Protobuf format, so the plain XML approach only applies to .pro6.
