Extract text from HMT files
To convert your HMT file to another format, you need High-Logic MainType or other Raster Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Thumbnail Cache" file type, you need software like High-Logic MainType or a similar tool.
The .HMT file extension typically refers to a High-Logic MainType thumbnail cache file. These are internally standard JFIF (JPEG) images used by the MainType font manager to quickly display previews of fonts. Because they use a non-standard extension, standard image viewers cannot open them directly. Users often need to convert these to JPG or PNG to view the font previews outside the software.
Less commonly, an .HMT file may be a HighMAT (High Performance Media Access Technology) file, a legacy format developed by Microsoft and Panasonic for storing media metadata on CDs. These files act as a playlist or menu structure for digital media but are now largely obsolete and unsupported by modern Windows versions. Finally, on Humax PVR devices, .HMT files serve as sidecar metadata containing recording details (program title, duration) for TS video files. These cannot be converted to video but are essential for organizing recordings.
Convert.Guru analyzes your HMT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MHT, HIGHMAT, HTM, DECLARATION, HTML, MHTML, PLAYLIST, EPUB, PDF, DOCX and XML 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 HMT converter.
