Convert a file to ADJ

To convert other file formats to the "Adjacency Matrix" file type, you need software like FRAGSTATS or a similar tool.


About ADJ files

The .adj file extension represents a collision between scientific data formats and common email attachment errors.

  1. Spatial Analysis Data: In scientific and GIS workflows, .adj is generated by FRAGSTATS as a 'Class Adjacency Matrix'. This is a comma-delimited text file containing raw data about how different landscape patches (like forests or lakes) share boundaries. Similarly, network analysis tools like Pajek use .adj files to store graph adjacency lists. Users often need to convert these 'raw' text files into CSV or XLSX to visualize the matrix in Microsoft Excel.
  2. WordNet Database: The WordNet lexical database uses data.adj to store structural information about adjectives. These are specialized text databases used primarily by developers and linguists.
  3. Renamed Attachments (The Common Anomaly): A significant volume of .adj files encountered by office users are actually Microsoft Word documents (.docx) or ZIP archives that were renamed during email transmission. Mail gateways sometimes truncate extensions or rename 'Adjustment' reports to .adj. In these cases, the file is not a text file but a binary archive; trying to open it in a text editor will show gibberish.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ADJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
