Extract text from Priority Matrix projects (PMATRIX)
To convert PMATRIX projects to another format, you need Priority Matrix or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Management Data" file type, you need software like Priority Matrix or a similar tool.
The .pmatrix file is a proprietary project data container created by Appfluence Priority Matrix. It stores task lists, quadrant assignments based on the Eisenhower method, due dates, tags, and project settings. The primary disadvantage of the .pmatrix format is its strict vendor lock-in. It is a closed, proprietary format that requires an active, paid subscription to Priority Matrix to open or edit. You cannot natively view these files in standard web browsers, and they are completely incompatible with common productivity tools like Microsoft Excel or open-source alternatives. If you receive this file from a colleague and lack the specific software, the data is entirely inaccessible.
Because it is a proprietary, closed format, standard online file converters consistently fail to process .pmatrix files. The internal structure is strictly undocumented. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Our analysis can 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. Users typically need to convert .pmatrix data to CSV or XLSX to migrate task lists into other project management tools or view them freely.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PMATRIX 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 PMATRIX converter.
