Convert DMI to another file type
To convert DMI files to another format, you need BYOND or other Raster Image software.
Convert a file to DMI
To convert other file formats to the "Sprite Sheet Config File" file type, you need software like BYOND or a similar tool.
About DMI files
The .DMI file format serves two completely distinct purposes. The most common is the BYOND Dream Maker Icon File, a proprietary raster image format used by the BYOND game engine to create and play 2D online multiplayer games. It contains icon graphic states and animation frames for characters and map objects. Alternatively, it can be a Statistica Node Interface Configuration File originally developed by StatSoft and now managed by TIBCO, which stores information in plain text format defining user interface settings for workspace nodes. Handling .DMI files presents real-world limitations. The BYOND variant is a closed, proprietary extension of an image that embeds custom animation metadata. Standard image viewers often fail to read this metadata, displaying only the first frame or a distorted, flat sprite sheet. Statistica configurations are heavily restrictive, requiring the specific TIBCO ecosystem to function natively. If you are dealing with a game sprite, the best conversion targets are standard PNG or GIF files. Converting to PNG yields a flat sprite sheet, while GIF preserves the animation loop, though BYOND-specific directional metadata will be permanently lost. For Statistica nodes, standard TXT is the most practical target. Because these formats rely heavily on original software engines to display correctly, standard online converters often fail to process them. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DMI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert DMI file to PNG, JPG, PDF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO, CUR, PSD or PSB, you can use BYOND or similar software from the "Game Sprites & Node Configs" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to DMI, try BYOND or another comparable tool in the "Game Sprites & Node Configs" category.
The DMI 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 DMI converter.
