Extract text from Affinity Photo macros (AFMACRO)
To convert AFMACRO macros to another format, you need Affinity Photo or other Plugin software.
To convert other file formats to the "Affinity Photo Macro" file type, you need software like Affinity Photo or a similar tool.
A .afmacro file is a proprietary macro file used by Affinity Photo, a professional image editing application developed by Serif. It stores a recorded sequence of image editing operations, such as color adjustments, layer modifications, and filter applications. Photographers and designers use these files to automate repetitive tasks and apply consistent effects across multiple images.
The major disadvantage of the .afmacro format is its strict vendor lock-in. It is a closed, proprietary format that can only be executed within Affinity Photo. You cannot open it in a web browser, and it requires a paid license for the Serif software. Furthermore, it is entirely incompatible with competing raster graphics editors like Adobe Photoshop, which utilizes the ATN format for its actions.
Converting an .afmacro file to a standard ATN file or other script formats is extremely difficult. The underlying rendering engines, mathematical algorithms, and layer structures of different editing software are distinct. Consequently, standard online converters fail to process this file because it contains software-specific execution commands rather than standard media data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your AFMACRO file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AFMACRO converter.
