Extract text from AML files
To convert your AML file to another format, you need MaciASL or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "ACPI Binary & XML Data" file type, you need software like MaciASL or a similar tool.
The .aml extension predominantly refers to ACPI Machine Language files, which are compiled system binaries used by operating systems to configure and control hardware components. These files, often found as DSDT or SSDT tables within UEFI firmware or Hackintosh bootloaders, are not human-readable in their raw state. Users frequently need to convert these binaries back into DSL (source code) or TXT formats to debug hardware compatibility issues, patch DSDT tables for macOS support, or analyze system power management states using tools like MaciASL or the Intel iASL compiler.
Alternatively, in industrial engineering contexts, .aml stands for Automation Markup Language (based on the IEC 62714 standard). These are XML-based text files used to exchange data between plant engineering tools (e.g., PLCs, CAD software). While they are text-based, the complex nesting makes them difficult to parse manually. Engineers often convert these files to standard XML for broader compatibility, HTML for web viewing, or PDF for documentation and archiving using the AutomationML Editor.
Convert.Guru analyzes your AML file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EML, LUT, HTML, CUBE, XML, PDF, TXT, ZIP, NPY, JPG, PLP, RPT and INDD files.
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 AML converter.
