Extract text from MindManager map templates (XMMAT)
To convert XMMAT map templates to another format, you need MindManager or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mind Map Template" file type, you need software like MindManager or a similar tool.
The .XMMAT file is an XML-based template used by MindManager, a commercial mind mapping application originally developed by Mindjet and now owned by Corel. This format stores predefined styles, branch structures, formatting rules, and layouts used to standardize the creation of new mind maps across organizations.
The main disadvantage of the .XMMAT format is its strict reliance on an expensive, proprietary ecosystem. Without an active MindManager license, these templates are difficult to use. Because the format merely defines structural nodes and styling rules rather than a static visual document, opening it in standard web browsers or text editors will only display dense, unformatted XML code instead of a usable diagram.
Users typically need to convert .XMMAT files to universal formats like PDF for visual sharing, or OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) to transfer the hierarchical data to alternative, free mind mapping tools. However, converting these files is challenging. Standard online converters fail because they lack the proprietary rendering engine required to draw the complex geometric connections between the XML nodes. Often, only the original software can properly translate the template into a visual export. If our analysis detects standard text outlines embedded within the template, viewing or basic conversion may still be possible without needing an expensive software subscription.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XMMAT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert XMMAT file to SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF, FLA, XFL or SKETCH, you can use MindManager or similar software from the "Mind Map Template Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert AFPUB, EPS, FIG, VSD, SKETCH, VDX, AFPHOTO, PDF, AFDESIGN, SVG, VSDX or AI files to XMMAT, try MindManager or another comparable tool in the "Mind Map Template Storage" 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 XMMAT converter.
