Convert Sequence alignments and mind maps (M8) online for free
The converter easily converts your M8 Files to various formats - free and online. No NCBI BLAST or or other Data software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Sequence Alignment Data" file type, you need software like NCBI BLAST or a similar tool.
The .m8 file extension primarily represents a Sequence Alignment Tabular Report generated by bioinformatics tools like NCBI BLAST and Foldseek. It contains raw, tab-separated tabular data outlining protein or nucleotide sequence matches. Alternatively, .m8 files function as XML-based Mind Map Documents created by MindMaple. These files store brainstorming nodes, branches, and textual layouts. Users frequently struggle with .m8 files because they lack native operating system support. Bioinformatics .m8 files are raw text but lack visual column alignment, making them frustrating to read without spreadsheet software. Mind map .m8 files are even more restrictive; they are proprietary XML structures that often require paid software to view the diagrams.
To make this data accessible, you need to convert it. For data analysis and spreadsheet use, convert bioinformatics .m8 files to CSV or XLSX. For sharing mind maps with clients or archiving, convert MindMaple .m8 files to PDF or PNG. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

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 M8 converter.
