Extract text from Macro or map files (MGN2)
To convert MGN2 Macros or maps to another format, you need Bloody Software or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mouse Macro Profile" file type, you need software like Bloody Software or a similar tool.
A .MGN2 file typically functions as a gaming mouse macro script or an encrypted Magellan MapSend map file. Gamers use the macro variant to load hardware-level instructions, such as automatic weapon recoil compensation for games like PUBG Mobile. Alternatively, Magellan GPS systems use this extension to store regional map data.
The primary software used to open and edit the macro variant is the Bloody gaming software by A4Tech. For the GPS maps, the files are managed exclusively by Magellan MapSend.
Users often attempt to convert .MGN2 files because they are highly restrictive and locked to specific hardware ecosystems. You cannot open them natively in web browsers, and they require proprietary software to read. The macro files are notoriously difficult to share across different mouse brands, while the Magellan map files are strictly encrypted. This makes transferring or editing the raw data extremely frustrating.
If you want to edit macro settings outside the official application, the best target formats are plain text (TXT), XML, or JSON. However, be aware that manual edits might corrupt the file. Converting the encrypted Magellan map files to standard GIS formats like GPX or KML is generally impossible and will result in data loss due to digital rights management (DRM).
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary format. Standard online converters fail to process it because they lack the specific reverse-engineered decoders for A4Tech hardware instructions or Magellan encryption. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MGN2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted AMC, ANOM, BTX and KND 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 MGN2 converter.
