Convert a file to CMA

To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Data Archive" file type, you need software like Comprehensive Meta Analysis or a similar tool.


About CMA files

The .CMA file extension typically points to two radically different software ecosystems. Most often, it serves as a Meta-analysis data file created by Comprehensive Meta Analysis software. This format stores complex statistical data, study effect sizes, and academic research charts. Alternatively, a .CMA file can be a Collibra Migration Archive, which is used by the Collibra Data Governance Center to transfer data governance metamodels between enterprise environments. Other niche applications include Concept Matrix character appearance data for Final Fantasy XIV, IBM Cognos TM1 ASCII data exports, and MainTop RIP printer color calibration profiles.

Working with .CMA files is highly restrictive because the format is heavily fragmented and inherently proprietary. For example, Comprehensive Meta Analysis files require an expensive, paid software license to open, locking away raw statistical data from peers or colleagues who do not own the program. Collibra archives are actually just standard ZIP containers holding XML and JSON structures, but the .cma extension prevents native operating system tools from extracting them directly. IBM TM1 exports and Concept Matrix files are simple text or JSON, but relying on the obscure .cma extension causes standard web browsers and text editors to fail to recognize them.

To bypass these frustrating software limits, converting or analyzing the file is essential. If you are dealing with a Collibra archive, convert it to ZIP to instantly extract the underlying data models. For IBM TM1 exports or FFXIV character data, convert the file to JSON or TXT to guarantee broad compatibility for web use and code editing. If you have a proprietary statistical file from Comprehensive Meta Analysis, migrating the tabular data to CSV or XLSX is required so it can be edited in standard spreadsheet software like Excel or R. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser - convert.guru instantly detects the specific file signature of your .CMA file and translates it into a universally accessible format without requiring software installation.

Convert.Guru analyzes your CMA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted JPG, CGP, WBF, TSL, AWG, SMA and CPA files.

The CMA 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 CMA converter.
