About MAKE files

The .make file extension represents a collision between two distinct digital worlds: creative design and software development. In the creative sphere - specifically within the Figma ecosystem - a .make file is a proprietary, ZIP-compressed project archive generated by the Figma to Video (Make) plugin. These files contain JSON data, assets, and keyframes used to render animations, but they are often locked to the plugin environment, making them impossible to open in standard video players like VLC or QuickTime. Users typically need to convert these into accessible formats like MP4 or WebM for sharing.

Conversely, in the developer world, a .make file is a text-based build automation script - synonymous with a Makefile - used by GNU Make, Apple Xcode, or Drush (Drupal Shell) to compile software. These are plain text files that define dependencies and build rules. A common issue for developers is sharing these scripts with non-technical stakeholders who cannot read raw code; converting them to PDF or TXT ensures universal readability. Because .make files can be either binary archives or plain text scripts, the first step in any workflow is determining which variant you possess.

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

Users also converted MAKEFILE, UI, FIG, TSX, ZIP, PNG, XAPK, GLOBAL, EL and CMAKE files.



The MAKE 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 MAKE converter.
