Convert Manifest and manual files (MAN) online for free
The converter easily converts your MAN Manifests and manuals to various formats - free and online. No Microsoft Windows or other System software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "System Configuration File" formats to MAN without using software like Microsoft Windows or a similar tool.
A .man file is a multi-purpose extension most commonly used for Windows Component Manifests, Unix Manual pages, or disguised downloaded archives. Windows uses these files internally as XML or UTF-8 text to describe assemblies, components, and event traces. Historically, the extension refers to Unix manual pages formatted with groff or troff markup. Additionally, download managers like GetIntoPC frequently rename RAR or ZIP packages to .man to bypass browser download restrictions.
The primary disadvantage of the .man format is its extreme fragmentation. Because developers and third-party download tools reuse the same extension for completely unrelated data, operating systems cannot automatically detect how to open them. Users are frequently left guessing whether the file is a plain text configuration, a compiled binary, or a compressed archive. Furthermore, Unix manual pages contain raw formatting tags that make them unreadable in standard text editors without parsing.
To overcome these limitations, you must convert or extract the file based on its true contents. For archiving Unix documentation, convert to PDF/A. For web reading, convert manuals to HTML or TXT. If the file is a disguised archive, convert or extract it to ZIP for universal access across modern operating systems. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

Users also converted MANS, 1, XAPK, SYS, ZIP, DLL, PDF, A, DSC and SCRIPT files.
If you want to convert MAN file to TXT, DOC, PAGES, LOG or NFO, you can use Microsoft Windows or similar software from the "System Manifest & Documentation" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, JPG, TXT or NOTE files to MAN, try Microsoft Windows or another comparable tool in the "System Manifest & Documentation" 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 MAN converter.
