Convert ITMZ to MM

Understanding ITMZ and MM file formats

ITMZ files are project files created by iThoughts, a popular mind mapping application available on macOS, iOS, and Windows. These files store mind maps, including nodes, relationships, notes, and formatting. MM files, on the other hand, are used by FreeMind, an open-source mind mapping tool. The MM format is XML-based and widely supported by various mind mapping applications, making it a common choice for sharing and collaboration.

Why convert ITMZ to MM?

Converting ITMZ to MM allows you to open and edit your mind maps in FreeMind or other compatible tools. This is especially useful for collaboration, sharing, or migrating your mind maps to a different platform.

How to convert ITMZ to MM

The most reliable way to convert ITMZ files to MM format is by using iThoughts itself, as it supports exporting to FreeMind's MM format. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open your ITMZ file in iThoughts.
• Go to File → Export.
• Select FreeMind (.mm) as the export format.
• Choose the destination folder and save the file.

Your mind map will now be available in the MM format, ready to be opened in FreeMind or any other compatible application.

Best software for ITMZ to MM conversion

iThoughts is the recommended software for this conversion, as it natively supports both formats and ensures the best compatibility. If you do not have access to iThoughts, you can try online converters like MindMup or XMind, but results may vary and some formatting or features might be lost.

Tips for a successful conversion

• Always check the exported MM file for formatting or data loss.
• Keep a backup of your original ITMZ file.
• If you encounter issues, try updating your software to the latest version.
