Extract text from MindGenius maps (MGMF)
To convert MGMF maps to another format, you need MindGenius or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mind Map File" file type, you need software like MindGenius or a similar tool.
The .MGMF file extension represents a MindGenius Map File, primarily utilized by MindGenius project management and brainstorming software. These files use a Microsoft Compound internal structure to save complex mind maps, task lists, resource allocations, and presentation data.
To open, edit, or natively convert a .MGMF file, you need a licensed copy of MindGenius or a compatible import module within alternative mapping tools like MindManager.
Users frequently need to convert .MGMF files because the format is highly restrictive and proprietary. Coworkers or external clients without a specific, paid software license cannot view the mind maps. Furthermore, the format is entirely unsupported by standard web browsers or mobile operating systems, creating friction for remote collaboration and rapid document sharing.
The most practical conversion targets include PDF for universal, high-fidelity viewing, DOCX for exporting the mind map into a structured, linear text outline, or PNG for embedding the visual diagram directly into slideshows. Note that converting to static formats like PDF or PNG will permanently discard the interactive expand and collapse functionality of the original mapping software.
Because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters consistently fail to process it. They lack the specialized parsers required to decode the specific OLE document structures used by MindGenius. However, just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our engine inspects the file's internal components; if it detects an embedded preview image or extractable text outlines, viewing or partial conversion may still be viable.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MGMF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted YBAK, MGMAP and MGTPL 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 MGMF converter.
