Extract text from MIUI themes (MTZ)
To convert MTZ themes to another format, you need MIUI Theme Editor or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mobile Interface Theme Archive" file type, you need software like MIUI Theme Editor or a similar tool.
The .mtz file extension is most commonly associated with MIUI and HyperOS themes created by Xiaomi. Under the hood, these files are standard ZIP archives that package custom wallpapers, PNG icons, lock screen graphics, and XML UI configurations for Xiaomi Android smartphones. Another prominent but entirely different use is in scientific research, where the CCP4 Software Suite uses .mtz as a specialized binary format for storing X-ray crystallographic reflection data.
The main disadvantage of the Xiaomi .mtz format is that it is heavily restricted to the Xiaomi ecosystem. It is proprietary in application, meaning you cannot natively apply an .mtz theme to a Samsung, Google Pixel, or standard Android device. You also cannot easily edit them without the official MIUI Theme Editor. Furthermore, non-theme .mtz files like CCP4 datasets or MiTek truss design files are complex and require heavy, specialized software suites to open, making quick data inspection impossible for casual users.
Because Xiaomi .mtz files are actually compressed archives, the best conversion target is ZIP. By converting or simply renaming the file to ZIP, you can bypass system limits and extract the internal image assets and XML configurations. For CCP4 files, converting the binary data to TXT or CSV is ideal for reading reflection matrices in a standard spreadsheet.
The wildly differing natures of .mtz files - ranging from ZIP-compressed mobile themes to raw binary science data or XML-based Materialize project files - cause standard online converters to fail. They cannot guess the correct parsing logic. We inspect the underlying file signature, reveal the hidden ZIP archive or internal text, and extract the embedded assets whenever supported.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MTZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TTF, ZIP, ICONS, BAK, MTDZ, HWT, APK, MRC, JPG, BACKUP, MP4, OTF and TXT files.
If you want to convert MTZ file to TTF, MAP, CIF, MRC, APK, OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND or MA, you can use MIUI Theme Editor or similar software from the "Mobile Theme Customization" 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 MTZ, try MIUI Theme Editor or another comparable tool in the "Mobile Theme Customization" 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 MTZ converter.
