Convert PRO6 to XML

Can you convert PRO6 to XML?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert PRO6 to XML?
No - not a direct conversion.

There is no useful "pro6 to xml" conversion because the .pro6 document is itself an XML file with a different extension. If you just want to read or edit the markup, rename or open the file in a text editor; if you want structured data for another program, extract the text instead.

Why convert PRO6 to XML?

ProPresenter 6 saves each presentation as XML wrapped in the .pro6 extension. Renaming it to .xml does not produce a new or cleaner document - it is the same bytes - so the request only makes sense as "let me see the underlying XML" rather than a real format change.

How to convert PRO6 to XML

Open the .pro6 as XML in a text editor FREE

Copy the file, change the extension from .pro6 to .xml, and open it in an editor like Notepad++, VS Code or BBEdit to read and pretty-print the existing XML.

Extract text with ProPresenter-Parser OPEN-SOURCE

If you actually need structured data, parse the .pro6 XML with ChrisMBarr's ProPresenter-Parser and emit your own clean XML or JSON of just the slides and lyrics.

Export to a real interchange format FREE

For use in other software, open the file in ProPresenter and use File > Export to Text or images rather than trying to produce a generic .xml.

About these formats

Quality & what to watch

  • Renaming to .xml changes nothing about the content - it is the identical file with a different label.
  • The slide text inside is Base64-encoded RTF, so even as .xml the lyrics are not directly readable without decoding.
  • There is no published ProPresenter schema, so any XML you hand off to another app will need custom mapping.

Frequently asked questions

Is a .pro6 file really XML?
Yes. ProPresenter 6 documents are plain XML with a .pro6 extension, which is why they are relatively easy to parse.
Can I just rename .pro6 to .xml?
You can, and a text editor will open it, but it is the same file - nothing is converted or reformatted.
Why can't I read the lyrics after renaming to .xml?
The text is stored as Base64-encoded RTF inside the XML, so you must decode those fields to see readable words.
What if another program needs XML from my presentation?
Parse the .pro6 and generate your own clean XML with a script, since there is no official export-to-XML feature.
