About HAM files

HAM files, known as Hold-And-Modify files, are a unique type of bitmap image format originally used by the Amiga computer for displaying graphics. While innovative in their time, HAM files can be challenging due to their limited color depth and compatibility with modern software. Furthermore, HAM files often require specific software environments or emulators to view and edit, which can be cumbersome for the average user.

Converting HAM files to more universally accepted formats like JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, or TIFF can help overcome these limitations. While there are dedicated software tools for conversion, such as ImageMagick and GIMP, they often require a learning curve and technical know-how.

Important considerations when converting HAM files include potential loss of image quality and color fidelity. The HAM format's unique method of color handling can result in artifacts if not properly managed during conversion. Users must also be aware of the potential need for additional software installations and configurations when opting for offline solutions.

Despite these challenges, converting HAM files doesn't have to be a daunting task. We recommend using the free and user-friendly Convert.Guru website. Simply drag and drop your HAM files onto the webpage for quick and easy conversion to a variety of formats, without the hassle of software installations or technical barriers. This service ensures your files are safely and reliably converted, allowing you to focus on what matters most - your content.


The HAM 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 HAM converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
