Questions

What is an MPP file?

MPP is the file format Microsoft Project saves plans in: tasks, dates, links between tasks, resources and progress. It is a closed format, so most other programs cannot read it.

Can I open an MPP file without Microsoft Project?

Yes. Choose the file above and it opens in Ganttry as a task table and Gantt chart, in your browser. You do not need Microsoft Project, an account or any installation.

Which MPP files work?

Files from all common versions of Microsoft Project, from older releases to today’s. Files protected with a password cannot be read; remove the password in Microsoft Project first.

Does it work on a Mac or a Chromebook?

Yes. Ganttry runs in any modern browser, on Mac, Windows, Linux and Chromebooks.

Is my file safe?

The file is sent over an encrypted connection to Ganttry’s converter, read in a temporary folder, and deleted straight away. We do not keep it or look at it. When you open it in Ganttry, the project stays in your browser until you choose to save it.

Can I edit the project?

Yes. Everything opens in Ganttry, a full scheduling app: change tasks, dates and links, and the plan reschedules. Sign up free with Google to keep the project in your Google Drive.

Can I get the plan into a spreadsheet?

Select cells in Ganttry’s table, copy them, and paste them into Google Sheets or Excel. To keep everything, download the plan as Project XML.

Can I convert MPP to XML?

Yes: choose the file and use Download as XML. Project XML is the open exchange format Microsoft Project itself reads and writes.
