Extract text from TimeMap templates (TMVT)
To convert TMVT templates to another format, you need LexisNexis TimeMap or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Presentation Template File" file type, you need software like LexisNexis TimeMap or a similar tool.
The .TMVT file extension is a TimeMap Template developed by LexisNexis. TimeMap is specialized timeline visualization software used by legal professionals to map out case facts and litigation timelines. While standard TMV files store the actual case events and dates, the .TMVT template dictates the visual presentation. It saves configurations like font choices, background colors, time-scale dimensions, and flag styles to ensure visual consistency across multiple presentations.
However, handling .TMVT files outside of a law firm's IT ecosystem presents massive challenges. It is a strictly proprietary, closed format tied to legacy desktop software that demands an expensive commercial license. If you do not have LexisNexis TimeMap installed, you simply cannot open, apply, or render this template. Furthermore, because it stores styling parameters rather than standard document text or images, conventional web browsers and universal document viewers cannot read it. Standard online converters routinely fail to process it because they cannot interpret the proprietary internal structure.
If you need to share a timeline design, the only reliable solution is to open the .TMVT in TimeMap, apply it to a sample timeline, and export the final visual as a PDF, PNG, or JPG file. This ensures anyone can view the layout without specialized software.
Because this file format is difficult to open or convert directly, you must be realistic about external processing. Only the original software can properly read or export the visual data. Our platform can inspect the raw file, and if our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded text structure, viewing or partial data extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TMVT 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 TMVT converter.
