Extract text from ConceptDraw MINDMAP templates (CDMTZ)
To convert CDMTZ templates to another format, you need ConceptDraw MINDMAP or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mind Map Template" file type, you need software like ConceptDraw MINDMAP or a similar tool.
The .CDMTZ file is a proprietary template format used by ConceptDraw MINDMAP, a brainstorming and diagramming application developed by CS Odessa. These files store pre-configured node styles, layouts, themes, and branch structures so users can quickly generate consistent mind maps across large projects.
The primary disadvantage of the .CDMTZ format is its strict proprietary lock-in. It requires an expensive paid license for ConceptDraw MINDMAP to open, edit, or apply natively. Furthermore, these template files cannot be opened by web browsers or standard document viewers, creating a significant barrier when sharing structures with clients or external team members who do not own the software.
Users typically need to convert .CDMTZ files into universally accessible formats like PDF for document sharing, PNG or JPG for visual web viewing, or the open standard OPML for importing into alternative mind mapping tools like XMind or FreeMind. Note that converting a template to a flat image or standard document will strip away the interactive, editable node structure of the original map.
Because .CDMTZ is a closed format that packages multiple XML files and media assets inside a compressed archive, standard online converters usually fail to process it. The proprietary layout logic requires the original software for reliable rendering. Our system will analyze the container, extract the underlying XML structure, and show readable text or embedded content to give you access to your raw data.

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 CDMTZ converter.
