Extract text from Radar data or project files (JMF)
To convert JMF Files to another format, you need Gatso & J.A.C.K. or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Telemetry & Game Design" file type, you need software like Gatso & J.A.C.K. or a similar tool.
The .JMF file extension primarily serves two highly specialized purposes. Most commonly, it is an encrypted Radar Speed Camera file generated by Gatso Autovision systems. These files store telemetry, photographic evidence, and calibration data used by law enforcement. Alternatively, game modders use it as a Jackhammer Project created by J.A.C.K., a popular level editor for classic games like Quake and Half-Life.
Both formats are strictly proprietary and restrictive. Gatso files are tamper-evident packets designed solely for police adjudication systems, making them impossible to open with standard consumer software. J.A.C.K. maps contain raw 3D geometry, texture paths, and entity data that standard image or document viewers cannot render. Users typically need to convert .JMF game projects into compiled map formats to actually play the levels they design.
Standard online converters fail completely because they lack Gatso decryption keys and BSP compiling engines. For game files, the only reliable solution is to open the file in J.A.C.K. and export it to MAP, RMF, or VMF. For telemetry data, viewing requires official government software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your JMF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BSP, MAP, ANOM, SVB and PCP files.
If you want to convert JMF file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use Gatso & J.A.C.K. or similar software from the "Telemetry Data & Game Mapping" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to JMF, try Gatso & J.A.C.K. or another comparable tool in the "Telemetry Data & Game 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 JMF converter.
