About NMW files

The .NMW file is an obsolete data file created by Microsoft NetMeeting, a discontinued collaborative conferencing client for Windows. These files store graphical data, shapes, and text drawn during a shared digital whiteboard session.

Today, the .NMW format is heavily outdated and proprietary. It is not supported by modern web browsers, image viewers, or current operating systems. To open it natively, users often must configure a legacy virtual machine running Windows XP. Because the internal structure is closed and undocumented, standard online converters usually fail to process it.

Users typically need to convert .NMW files to standard image formats like JPG or PNG, or document formats like PDF, in order to archive old meeting notes without relying on obsolete software. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. This file format is difficult to open or convert because only the original software can properly render the vector and raster data. However, convert.guru can still 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.

Convert.Guru analyzes your NMW file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted WHT, PTX and SES files.
