Extract text from TAM files
To convert your TAM file to another format, you need OnePager Pro or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Template" file type, you need software like OnePager Pro or a similar tool.
The .tam extension is a notorious 'chameleon' file format, appearing in three distinct, incompatible environments. Most frequently, it identifies a OnePager Project View Template, created by OnePager Pro to define the visual layout - colors, swimlanes, and styles - of Gantt charts derived from Microsoft Project or Excel. The friction here is significant: a .tam file contains only the styling rules, not the project data itself. You cannot 'open' it to see a timeline without the original source data and the licensed OnePager add-in. Users often struggle when trying to share these templates with colleagues who lack the software, creating a need to convert the final visualization to PDF or JPG for static viewing.
Alternatively, a .tam file may be a Text Analytics Model used by ABBYY FlexiCapture or SAP BusinessObjects. In this context, the file is a complex definition set for parsing unstructured data or transformation rules. These are often proprietary binary or ZIP-compressed containers that appear as gibberish in standard text editors. Finally, in scientific computing, .tam is occasionally used as an alias for MATLAB MAT-files, storing variables and arrays. For these, the goal is often converting the internal data arrays into universal formats like CSV or XLSX for use in standard spreadsheets.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TAM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FIS, AMAT and EDF files.
If you want to convert TAM file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use OnePager Pro or similar software from the "Project Timeline Template" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to TAM, try OnePager Pro or another comparable tool in the "Project Timeline Template" 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 TAM converter.
