About PTM files
A .PTM file primarily represents a Microsoft MapPoint Map used to store geospatial data, routes, and custom pushpins. Alternatively, it can be an OMICRON Primary Test Manager file, a Polynomial Texture Map for RTI 3D images, or a Commodore 64 cartridge image. For MapPoint files, you originally needed Microsoft MapPoint. For Polynomial Texture Maps, PTGui is often used. Microsoft MapPoint was permanently discontinued in 2014. It is proprietary, entirely unsupported, and extremely difficult to open natively on modern operating systems. The software requires obsolete legacy libraries and cannot be viewed in web browsers, leaving users locked out of their historical geographic data. To recover your locked data, you must convert the .PTM file to an open format. For web mapping applications, convert to GeoJSON or KML. For tabular route data and pushpin extraction, export directly to CSV or Excel (.XLSX). For Polynomial Texture Maps, convert to standard JPG or PNG for easy viewing. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser. convert.guru will analyze the internal file signature and automatically apply the correct extraction method - free, online, and without installing outdated software.

The PTM Converter Story
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 PTM converter.
