Extract text from DefleMask modules (DMF)
To convert DMF modules to another format, you need DefleMask or other Audio software.
To convert other file formats to the "Tracker Music Module" file type, you need software like DefleMask or a similar tool.
The .DMF extension primarily belongs to two completely different file types: a DefleMask Tracker Module or a Digital Map File used in GIS software. DefleMask uses .DMF files to store chiptune music projects, including patterns, instruments, and wave data. These audio project files are often compressed using zlib. Alternatively, Digitals GIS and Geosystem use the format for proprietary mapping data. Other minor uses include Drawing Model Files for Nemetschek Allplan and Data Miner Files for iMacros.
The main problem with .DMF files is their highly proprietary nature. A DefleMask file is useless if you want to share a track with someone who does not have the tracker installed; it does not play in standard audio players. Similarly, GIS map files require specific, expensive software to view and are not supported by web browsers. If you have an audio module, you must export it to WAV, MP3, or OGG to share the music. If it is a map file, converting to PDF or standard SHP (Shapefile) is ideal for real-world interoperability.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert online because standard converters fail to distinguish between the conflicting format structures. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DMF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted 880DMF, DXF, MID, VGM, PLAN, CSV, PDF, P7S, MP3 and PNG files.
If you want to convert DMF file to MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMA, M4A, AIFF, OPUS, ALAC, APE or WV, you can use DefleMask or similar software from the "Chiptune Tracker Module" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MIDI, AAC, TTA, AU, WV, DTS, MID, FLAC, RA, MP3, PCM or WAV files to DMF, try DefleMask or another comparable tool in the "Chiptune Tracker Module" 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 DMF converter.
