Extract text from ConceptDraw MINDMAP documents (CDMZ)
To convert CDMZ mind maps to another format, you need ConceptDraw MINDMAP or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mind Mapping Document" file type, you need software like ConceptDraw MINDMAP or a similar tool.
A .CDMZ file is a proprietary ConceptDraw MINDMAP Document used to store visual brainstorming sessions, project plans, and hierarchical diagrams. These files are generated exclusively by ConceptDraw MINDMAP, a commercial business productivity tool developed by CS Odessa.
The main disadvantage of the .CDMZ format is its strict vendor lock-in. Sharing these files is highly problematic because the recipient must have a paid license for the specific ConceptDraw software to view or edit the document. Furthermore, .CDMZ files are completely unsupported by web browsers and standard operating system preview tools, creating a major friction point in collaborative environments.
To share these mind maps effectively, you must convert them to universally accessible formats. Converting to PDF or PNG is ideal for sharing the static visual layout. If you need to transfer the actual structured data to alternative mind-mapping tools like XMind or FreeMind, converting the text outline to OPML is the best approach.
Because .CDMZ is a closed format, standard online converters fail to process the complex vector shapes and node relationships. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Since many proprietary mind-mapping files are essentially compressed archives containing XML data, our engine can often inspect the file, extract embedded text, and recover your underlying outline data even without the native software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CDMZ 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 CDMZ converter.
