About ATOM files
An .ATOM file is an XML-based document primarily used for the Atom Syndication Format. It allows websites and blogs to publish frequently updated content, such as news articles or podcast episodes. While initially intended to be a superior replacement for RSS, it never fully killed it off, leaving webmasters to support both formats. You can subscribe to these feeds using news aggregators like Feedly. A small percentage of .ATOM files are completely unrelated to the web; they act as animation data interchange files in Autodesk Maya or preset packages for AtomX video editing extensions.
The major disadvantage of an .ATOM feed is that it is highly unreadable for average users. If you click an .ATOM link in a modern web browser, you will usually hit a wall of dense, unstyled XML code because browsers dropped native feed support years ago. The format is also strictly designed for basic syndication, making it clunky for modern data analysis or database imports.
To make the data usable outside of a feed reader, you must convert it. If you need to extract the data for analysis, convert it to CSV for spreadsheet use or JSON for web and API development. If you need maximum compatibility with legacy feed readers, convert it to RSS.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ATOM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert ATOM file to RSS, MOL, MASS, XML, HTML, HTM, CSS, JS, PHP, ASP, ASPX or JSP, you can use Feedly or similar software from the "Web Syndication Feed" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

The ATOM Converter Story
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 ATOM converter.
