About FM3 files

The FM3 file format is primarily associated with FileMaker Pro version 3, a popular database management system. Despite its historical significance, the format presents certain challenges to modern users. FM3 files are not natively supported by many contemporary applications, which can cause compatibility issues when sharing data or migrating to newer systems.

Converting FM3 files to more widely used formats such as CSV, Excel (XLS/XLSX), SQL, or XML can help overcome these limitations. Desktop solutions like FileMaker Pro itself can be utilized for conversion, albeit requiring an active license. Alternatively, specialized software like LibreOffice might offer some capabilities, albeit with potential limitations.

Converting FM3 files can be complex due to their proprietary nature and the potential for data loss or formatting issues. Additionally, maintaining the integrity of relational database structures during conversion is crucial. These challenges necessitate a reliable conversion process to ensure data accuracy and usability.

FM3 files are outdated and lack support from modern software applications, making them cumbersome to work with. Their proprietary format can restrict data portability and access, emphasizing the need for conversion to more versatile formats.

The FM3 Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best FM3 converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
