What is a GCP file?

GCP files mostly belong to Greeting Card Studio. GCP files are project files created by the Greeting Card Studio application from Greeting Card Factory. They hold the data and settings for a greeting card design and use the ZIP archive format to package the information.
When you open a GCP file, you will find elements such as:

Compressed design data in a ZIP structure

Layout settings for text and images

Specific project information for greeting card creation

FilExt.com note: Use the Greeting Card Studio software to view or modify these files. For a closer look at the contents, you can rename the file with a .zip extension and open it with any standard archive tool, though editing is best done in the dedicated software.

How to open GCP files

You need a suitable software like Greeting Card Studio to open a GCP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your GCP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GCP file directly in the browser:.

GCP file format details:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our evaluation of the GCP files looks like this:

GCP is not a commonly used file extension and includes very many different file formats. However, the following two file formats are common:

20% of all GCP files internally use the ZIP format, i.e. a GCP file contains several compressed files. Most often they are 1 to 9 compressed files. File names are e.g. 1.jpg, index.xml and thumb.jpg. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. The average file size is 170 KB with most files being between 1 KB and 1 MB in size. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as 2.jpg and index.xml. Such files sometimes refer to karte and weihnachten, and almost always comprise personal data.
5% of all GCP files start with the bytes cpf001 crucial for this file format. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. GCP files are between 4 MB and 70 MB in size.

All other GCP files (75%) have no consistent format. Tagged as music, spch, common, sound, world, gallery, points, sector, timmy, face, fetm or paks. If you want to find out which format your GCP file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .gcp file to analyze".

How to solve problems with GCP files

Associate the GCP file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open project files. Because only the current version supports the latest GCP file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Greeting Card Studio update.
