Extract text from OMFL files
To convert your OMFL file to another format, you need Emsisoft Decryptor or other Encoded software.
To convert other file formats to the "Ransomware Encrypted File" file type, you need software like Emsisoft Decryptor or a similar tool.
If you are struggling to open a .OMFL file, you are likely dealing with one of two vastly different scenarios. The most urgent and common case is that your files - originally JPG, DOCX, PDF, or XLSX - have been locked by the STOP/Djvu ransomware. In this state, the file is essentially a proprietary, encrypted container holding your data hostage. You cannot simply 'convert' these back to their original format using standard image or document converters because the header data is scrambled. Opening them in a text editor reveals illegible binary garbage. The only path to 'conversion' here is actually decryption, which relies on whether an offline key (decryptable) or online key (often impossible to decrypt without paying) was used.
The second, far less terrifying possibility is that you are using Open Multiple Files by Vovsoft. In this niche workflow, the .OMFL file is a benign File List used to batch-launch multiple applications or documents at once. These are typically lightweight data files containing file paths. While useful for automation, they are proprietary to the Vovsoft utility. Users often want to convert these to TXT or CSV to migrate their automation scripts or audit the list of files being opened, but are stuck because standard editors don't natively parse the structure.
Convert.Guru analyzes your OMFL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ZIDA, OVB and NONAME files.
If you want to convert OMFL file to TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD, MARKDOWN, LOG or NFO, you can use Emsisoft Decryptor or similar software from the "Encrypted Data Container" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to OMFL, try Emsisoft Decryptor or another comparable tool in the "Encrypted Data Container" 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 OMFL converter.
