Export & import
The library is yours and it has to be able to leave. This page lists every route in and out — including the ones that do not exist.
Export
| Format | Scope | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| One song | System share sheet (mail, chat, print, save) | |
| Setlist | System share sheet | |
| ChordPro | One song | Saved as a file |
| ChordPro ZIP | Whole library | Saved as a file |
| Plain text | Setlist | To the clipboard |
.eutbackup | Full backup | Saved as a file |
.eutbackup | Automatic daily backup (Android only) | Into a folder you choose |
| Error log | Text file | Saved as a file |
Song PDF
An A4 document is generated — a metadata header and a body with chords in a monospaced face so they line up over the syllables. The system share sheet opens, so you can send, save or print the PDF straight away.
Setlist PDF
Besides the song list it also contains breaks and per-song notes.
ℹ
The PDF font ships with the app, so exports work offline from the very first one — diacritics included.
ChordPro
The export writes a header of directives (
{title}, {artist}, {key}, {tempo}, {capo}) followed by the song body exactly as stored. The result is readable by any other ChordPro app.Plain text
The setlist text summary is copied to the clipboard, not to a file — it is meant for pasting into a message or an email. There is no text-file export of a single song; the closest equivalent is ChordPro, which is plain text too.
Import
| Source | Extensions | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ChordPro file | .cho, .chopro, .chordpro, .crd, .pro, .txt | One song |
| ZIP | .zip | Several ChordPro files, subfolders included |
| SongBook Pro | .sbpbackup | Songs and setlists |
| Web address | — | Fetches and extracts ChordPro from a page |
| Photo | — | OCR, Android and iOS only |
| Concert | .eutset | A setlist, its songs and attachments — see Send concert |
| Eutepio backup | .eutbackup | Full restore |
| Older backup | .json | Legacy format from earlier versions |
SongBook Pro
The SongBook Pro import reads songs, their text notes and selected metadata, carries over setlists, and rewrites chord notation from the
text[chord] form into the ChordPro [chord]text form so chords land in the right place. PDFs, drawings and the original app settings do not come across — those have to be added by hand. The full walkthrough is on Switching from SongBook Pro.Import from a web address
You enter a URL, the app fetches the page and tries to extract ChordPro content and metadata from the HTML. Only a request to the address you typed is sent; nothing goes anywhere else. The dialog says so up front.
Duplicate warnings
On import the app notices that a song is probably already in your library and warns you. Duplicates can also be found and merged later from the library itself — see Library search.
Importing from other apps
There is no dedicated parser for specific competing programs (apart from SongBook Pro). But if your current app can export generic ChordPro, the import will work — that covers OnSong or Linkesoft's SongBook, for example.

What the app does not have
So there are no surprises:
- Bulk PDF export of every song. PDF is exported one song at a time, or as a setlist.
- Song export to
.txt. Only a setlist goes to the clipboard. - A standalone
.jsonexport. The custom JSON format exists, but only inside an.eutbackup— it is not an option in the export menu. An older.jsonbackup can only be imported. - Share-sheet sharing for formats other than PDF. ChordPro and backups are written through a file picker.
- A public API or cloud sync. The app exposes no interface for reading data from outside.
