Extract text from Football Manager data files (FMF)
To convert FMF data files to another format, you need Football Manager or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Archive File" file type, you need software like Football Manager or a similar tool.
The .FMF file extension primarily represents a Football Manager Game Data File, created by Sports Interactive for their Football Manager video game series. It acts as a proprietary archive or container holding custom tactics, database edits, player shortlists, or graphical assets like team logos and player faces. Players share these files to distribute community-made modifications.
The primary disadvantage of the .FMF format is its proprietary, closed nature. It is completely useless outside the Football Manager ecosystem. You cannot natively view the contents using standard archive tools like WinZip or 7-Zip. Accessing the internal files requires launching the game or using the official Resource Archiver tool provided by the developers. Furthermore, these files can become massive and difficult to share if they contain thousands of high-resolution graphic assets.
Users often need to convert or extract .FMF files to access the underlying XML data, TXT files, or PNG graphics for manual editing. Because this format relies on specific game engine compression, standard online converters fail to process it. We can inspect the file and attempt to show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FMF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FM, XML, FMV, TXT, TAC, RAR, MID, CSV, MP4, PDF, ZIP, MP3 and XAPK files.

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 FMF converter.
