Extract text from Energy models (HMR)
To convert HMR models to another format, you need OziExplorer or other GIS software.
To convert other file formats to the "Hydrographic Map Raster" file type, you need software like OziExplorer or a similar tool.
A .HMR file is primarily a geospatial raster map format. It is frequently used as a Hydrographic Map Raster in navigation software like OziExplorer or as a geospatial image in MicroImages TNTmips. Because the underlying structure is often based on the standard TIFF format, it contains rasterized image data mapped to precise geographic coordinates. Alternatively, a .HMR file might be an energy modeling project created by HOMER Pro, a data file from Lake Shore Cryotronics Hall Measurement Systems, or even a proprietary DVD camcorder video chapter.
These proprietary structures make the .HMR file frustrating to use outside of specific niches. If you do not own a license for OziExplorer or HOMER Pro, you cannot natively view the maps or open the energy models. The mapping files are often large and completely unsupported by web browsers or standard image viewers like Windows Photos or Apple Preview.
To make the map data broadly usable, you should convert it to standard image formats like TIF, PNG, or JPG. Converting to these formats will preserve the visual map, though you will likely lose the embedded geospatial calibration data (the exact GPS coordinates attached to the image pixels).
Because these files are heavily software-dependent, standard online converters usually fail to process them. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, just drag and drop your .HMR file onto convert.guru to identify the exact format, inspect the file, and view its internal structure. If our analysis detects the underlying TIFF structure in a map file, viewing or conversion to standard formats may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your HMR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted OZF2, OZFX3 and MMI files.
If you want to convert HMR file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use OziExplorer or similar software from the "Geospatial Raster Mapping" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to HMR, try OziExplorer or another comparable tool in the "Geospatial Raster Mapping" 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 HMR converter.
