Extract text from Mindomo diagrams (MDG)
To convert MDG diagrams to another format, you need Mindomo or other Vector Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mind Map Diagram" file type, you need software like Mindomo or a similar tool.
The .MDG file extension is primarily associated with Mindomo, a collaborative mind mapping and concept mapping software. These files serve as 2D vector drawing files that store structured diagrams, including topics, subtopics, relationships, and multimedia attachments (links, notes, images). Internally, the file often utilizes a JSON structure to define the visual layout and hierarchy of the map.
While .MDG files are excellent for brainstorming and project planning within the Mindomo ecosystem, they present significant challenges when sharing data with users who do not have the software installed. The format is proprietary and cannot be opened by standard web browsers or generic image viewers. Additionally, simply opening the file in a text editor reveals raw JSON code rather than the visual diagram. For professional sharing, archiving, or presentation, users typically convert .MDG files to PDF (for static viewing), PNG or JPG (for inserting into slides), or OPML (for transferring outlines to other tools like Microsoft Word or Excel).
A less common use of the .MDG extension is as a Digital Geometric Model created by DInsight software. These are specialized 3D CAD files used to store geometric data for engineering or modeling purposes and are completely incompatible with mind mapping tools.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MDG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DXF, MSG, MDF, SIG, MDJ, G3D, MOM, TIN and DGN files.

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 MDG converter.
