Extract text from Clicker matching sets (CLKM)
To convert CLKM matching sets to another format, you need Clicker or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Interactive Educational File" file type, you need software like Clicker or a similar tool.
The .clkm file extension is a proprietary Clicker Matching Set File developed by Crick Software. These files are utilized in educational environments to create interactive learning activities, specifically tasks where students match pictures, words, or sounds. To natively open or edit a .clkm file, users must have the Clicker software suite installed.
The major disadvantage of the .clkm format is its strictly closed ecosystem. It is heavily proprietary and cannot be opened by standard web browsers, generic document viewers, or basic office suites like Microsoft Word. This creates a severe compatibility roadblock if an educator needs to share a matching activity with a student or parent who does not possess a paid Clicker license.
Because a .clkm file represents an interactive software activity rather than a flat, static document, direct conversion to a standard format like PDF or DOCX will inevitably strip away all interactivity and game logic. If you merely need to share the visual content, capturing screenshots to save as JPG or PNG is often the most realistic workaround.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because standard online converters completely fail to parse Crick Software's proprietary logic. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as bundled image or audio assets - viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CLKM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert CLKM file to TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD, MARKDOWN, LOG or NFO, you can use Clicker or similar software from the "Educational Matching Activity Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to CLKM, try Clicker or another comparable tool in the "Educational Matching Activity 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 CLKM converter.
