Extract text from MindManager map templates (MMAT)
To convert MMAT map templates to another format, you need MindManager or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mind Map Template" file type, you need software like MindManager or a similar tool.
The .MMAT file format stores pre-configured templates for MindManager, a commercial mind mapping software originally developed by Mindjet and currently owned by Corel. These template files dictate the visual layout, node structure, graphical themes, and default styling used as the foundation for new mind map documents.
Users frequently encounter significant limits with .MMAT files because the format is strictly proprietary. Opening, editing, or even viewing these templates requires an expensive software subscription. The file type is not supported by standard web browsers, mobile operating systems, or generic document viewers. Sharing .MMAT files with external clients or team members who do not use MindManager creates immediate friction and data lock-in.
To share these mind maps effectively, you must convert .MMAT to universally accepted formats. The best target formats include PDF for preserving fixed visual layouts, PNG for quick image sharing, or DOCX for exporting hierarchical text outlines. However, exporting data securely often results in flattened hierarchies or lost interactive metadata.
Standard online converters fail to process .MMAT files because the complex visual rendering engine is locked inside the proprietary desktop application. Standard tools cannot interpret the spatial geometry of the map.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MMAT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 MMAT converter.
