About ML20 files
The .ML20 file format primarily serves as a legacy conversation history log for Windows Live Messenger or as an encrypted GPS track log file utilized by MioMap GPS software. Occasionally, it acts as an MSN Webcam Recorder Video file. Because the original software platforms are completely obsolete, users face significant challenges when trying to access these files today. Disadvantages of the .ML20 format include its reliance on discontinued, proprietary software and the fact that the GPS variants are often tightly encrypted. Users typically need to convert these files to universally readable formats like TXT, CSV, or standard video formats like MP4. However, standard online converters consistently fail to process .ML20 files because they lack the necessary legacy codecs and decryption keys for these closed formats. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. convert.guru can identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible, though proprietary encryption may limit full data recovery.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ML20 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The ML20 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 ML20 converter.
