Convert WLM files online for free

The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Settings formats to WLM with high quality output.
A .WLM file is most frequently associated with UV WinLab, a specialized software suite by PerkinElmer used to control UV-Vis spectrophotometers. These "Method" files contain the specific instructional parameters - such as scan speed, wavelength range, and slit width - required to reproduce an experiment. A significant downside for researchers is that .WLM files are often proprietary containers (internally formatted as GZIP archives) that cannot be opened by standard text editors or viewers without the licensed host software. This creates major hurdles for data archiving or peer review when the original software is unavailable or obsolete. For documentation purposes, the best approach is often converting these settings to PDF or extracting the internal text to TXT or XML to preserve the experimental conditions.
Less commonly, a .WLM file may be a legacy CompW Wavelet-Compressed Image. These are older, highly compressed graphics files that modern image viewers rarely support. In this scenario, users typically need to convert the file to standard raster formats like JPG or PNG to view the visual data in web browsers or modern editing tools like Adobe Photoshop.

To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to WLM, try UV WinLab or another comparable tool in the "Spectrophotometer Method Settings" 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 WLM converter.
