About LMK files

The .LMK file extension is primarily used for two entirely different applications: as a Logo Maker project file created by Sothink Logo Maker and as a macro library for PCB layouts in ABACOM Sprint-Layout or sPlan. These files are proprietary project containers, not standard media files. A logo .LMK file does not hold a flat image; it contains vector paths, text nodes, and layer data. This means you cannot open it in a standard web browser, image viewer, or vector software like Adobe Illustrator. Users face significant disadvantages because the format is closed-source, locking you into specific commercial software to edit or export your work. To make the designs usable, you must convert the .LMK logo files to standard raster formats like PNG or JPG, or vector formats like SVG and PDF. For PCB libraries, exporting to Gerber or DXF is standard, though complex library metadata is usually lost. Because this file format is proprietary and difficult to open or convert, standard online converters frequently fail to process it. Only the original software can natively read the complete data structure. Our analysis tool can inspect the file, show internal text or embedded preview images, and facilitate viewing or conversion if a supported underlying format is detected.

Convert.Guru analyzes your LMK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted DOWNLOAD, LNK, PNG, XD, PB1 and NTP files.

The LMK Converter Story

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 LMK converter.
