How to Convert EasyWorship to ProPresenter 7 (Every Method, Including Free)
Your church is moving to ProPresenter, and years of songs are sitting in EasyWorship. There is no official export button between the two, but you have four real options. Here they all are, honestly compared, including the ones that cost nothing.
Why there's no direct export
EasyWorship stores your songs in its own database format, and ProPresenter uses a completely different one. Neither vendor has much incentive to make leaving easy, so migration always goes through a third path: free software, manual work, or a conversion service.
Method 1: The free OpenLP route
OpenLP is free, open-source worship software that can read EasyWorship databases. The trick is using it as a bridge: import your EasyWorship songs into OpenLP, then export them as text you can bring into ProPresenter.
- Install OpenLP (free) on the computer with EasyWorship.
- Use OpenLP's song import and select EasyWorship as the source (check that your EasyWorship version appears in the import list; support varies by version).
- Export the songs from OpenLP as text files.
- Import the text files into ProPresenter and re-tag verse/chorus labels where needed.
Cost: nothing. Time: budget an afternoon to a full day depending on library size, plus cleanup, since verse structure and formatting often need manual re-tagging on the ProPresenter side. Full walkthrough here: the free OpenLP workaround, step by step.
Method 2: Manual copy-paste
Open each song in EasyWorship, copy the lyrics, paste into ProPresenter, re-mark the sections. It works, it's free, and for a library under about 30 songs it's honestly the sensible choice. At 300 songs it's a multi-week volunteer project, and typos creep in.
Method 3: Re-download from SongSelect
If your church has a CCLI SongSelect subscription and most of your library is standard worship songs, ProPresenter's SongSelect integration lets you pull lyrics fresh. This gets clean, licensed text but loses your local edits, custom arrangements, and any original or regional songs not on SongSelect. Best used to supplement another method, not replace it.
Method 4: Conversion services
Paid services take your EasyWorship database and return a ProPresenter-ready import bundle. Established options charge around $50 per conversion, done by email during business hours. Our service, SongMigrate, does the same job for $25 with a free 5-song preview of your own songs before you pay anything.
