Extract text from Animiz and Amira files (AM)
To convert AM files to another format, you need Animiz or other Other software.
To convert other file formats to the "Multi-format File Extension" file type, you need software like Animiz or a similar tool.
The .am file extension is highly fragmented and shared across multiple unrelated software platforms. Most commonly, it acts as an animated presentation project file for Animiz Animation Maker or a mind map from XMind. In scientific and engineering fields, it represents 3D visualization data (AmiraMesh) used by Amira and Avizo. Software developers frequently encounter .am as GNU Automake input templates, which are plain text files used to generate Makefiles for building software.
This fragmentation makes .am files frustrating to handle. Without knowing the exact source software, operating systems will fail to open them. The internal structure varies wildly: an Animiz .am file is a renamed ZIP archive, an Anime Maker file relies on GZIP compression, and a Lovense chat message is actually an MP4 video wrapper. Because they are often proprietary or use hidden containers, they require specific desktop software to open natively and are completely unsupported by web browsers.
To regain control over your data, you must convert the file or extract its container. If it is an Animiz presentation, renaming it to ZIP allows you to extract the raw media assets. For 3D AmiraMesh files, converting to standard formats like OBJ or STL ensures compatibility across generic 3D modeling tools. Automake files can be viewed in any basic text editor. Drag and drop your file here to analyze its true signature and convert it securely right in your browser.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your AM file.
Users also converted FRT, GZ and LO files.
If you want to convert AM file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Animiz or similar software from the "Animation and 3D Scientific Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to AM, try Animiz or another comparable tool in the "Animation and 3D Scientific Data" category.
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 AM converter.
