Open FLP files in your browser
The project FL Studio saves, sent to a friend, a client or a producer without FL Studio. Open one right here as its playlist, see every plugin and sample it needs, and hear its notes. Nothing leaves your device.
Or drop it anywhere on this page
What you'll see
Your project opens as its arrangement: the tracks down the left in their colors, and their clips along the bars with their notes drawn small and the waves of their audio, under the tempo and markers.
- Every track and clip • Zoom from the whole song to a beat
- Plugins and samples • A tab each, missing samples marked
- Play • The notes in General MIDI sounds, Audacity's own mix
- Export • Save as MIDI, WAV, MP3 or CSV
About FLP
Image-Line released FruityLoops in 1997 as a drum machine for Windows, and it grew into FL Studio, one of the most used apps for making beats and electronic music, on Windows and, since FL Studio 20, on the Mac. Producers trade .flp files to work on a song together, sell them as templates and keep them as the master of every track they make.
An FLP is a stream of events with no published spec: the Channel Rack's channels with their plugins and samples, each pattern's notes, the playlist's tracks with every pattern and clip placed on them, the mixer's inserts and their effects, the tempo, the markers and the song's title and comments. The sounds stay in the plugins and in the sample files it points to.
Filepeek reads it in your browser. The playlist opens with each track in its color and the patterns along the bars, their notes drawn small, with the tempo, time signature and markers above. Plugins lists every generator and effect with its maker and whether it's FL Studio's own, VST or VST3, Samples says which files it uses and which you dropped with it, and Play plays the notes with General MIDI instruments picked by each channel's name. Export saves the notes as MIDI and the lists as CSV.

Questions
How do I open an FLP file without FL Studio?
Drop it on this page or press Peek an FLP. It opens as its playlist in your browser, on Windows, a Mac, an iPhone or Android, with nothing to install.
Which plugins and samples does this project need?
Open Plugins to see every generator and effect, with its maker and format and the channel or mixer track it sits on. Samples lists each sample file with its path, marked found when you drop it with the project. Export saves both lists as CSV.
Why doesn't it sound like the song?
An FLP keeps the notes and the plugins' settings, not their sound. Filepeek plays the notes with General MIDI instruments picked by each channel's name, drums as drums, so you hear the parts and their timing. Audio clips stay silent.
How do I get the MIDI out of an FLP?
Open it, choose Export, then Save the notes as MIDI. Each channel's notes become a track, where the playlist plays them, with the tempo and the markers.
Why do the audio clips say Sample missing?
An FLP only points to its samples, by their path on the computer that made it. Drop the project with its samples, or with the folder they're in, and their waves show.
