Convert Matrix Market files (MTX) online for free
The converter easily converts your MTX Matrix files to various formats - free and online. No MATLAB or other Data software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Matrix Data File" file type, you need software like MATLAB or a similar tool.
The .MTX file extension primarily represents a Matrix Market exchange format file, utilized by MATLAB and numerical linear algebra systems to store large sparse and dense matrices. Additionally, this extension is heavily used as a proprietary computer-based exam format by the MyTestX Pro software, or as a compressed game texture atlas by Mediocre AB games. It occasionally acts as an XML configuration file for Siemens NX CAD.
The disadvantages of handling .MTX files depend on their origin. Matrix Market files are raw ASCII text. While readable, they cannot be visualized or graphed without specialized tools or writing custom scripts using Python's SciPy (scipy.io.mmread) or MATLAB. They also result in massive file sizes for large datasets compared to binary formats. MyTestX files pose an even bigger challenge: they are locked-down, proprietary testing binaries that require specific, paid testing software to access, severely limiting sharing and archiving. Game textures using the .MTX extension are essentially wrapped PNG files with custom headers that completely break compatibility with standard image viewers.
Converting your .MTX files solves these accessibility issues. For data analysis, convert Matrix Market files to CSV for spreadsheet compatibility, or MAT for efficient binary storage. For exam data, converting to PDF or DOCX allows for offline printing, sharing, and archiving without software dependencies. For game assets, target PNG or JPG to restore standard image viewing capabilities. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your MTX file.
Users also converted MTF, PDF, MTPX, TXT, MTLX, DOCX, ZIP, MTXPR, DOC, MTSX, CDW, WEBARCHIVE and MXT files.
If you want to convert MTX file to CSV, H5, OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D or STL, you can use MATLAB or similar software from the "Sparse Matrix Exchange Format" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to MTX, try MATLAB or another comparable tool in the "Sparse Matrix Exchange Format" category.
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 MTX converter.
