The gradientlibrary file extension is used by Corel Painter, a raster graphics editor developed by Corel for Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS.
A gradientlibrary file stores a collection of gradients that can be selected and applied to brush strokes and other artwork in Painter. It is a native resource-library file, not a standalone image file.
The format is specific to Corel Painter and is not a general gradient-library interchange format.
Open or import a gradientlibrary file in Corel Painter on Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS, using the software's gradient library controls. The file is not intended to be opened as an image in a general image viewer.
There is no standard converter for gradientlibrary files. Because the file stores Painter-specific gradient resources rather than image data, it cannot be meaningfully converted to a common image format. Gradients needed in another application generally have to be recreated there.
