What is a .FM file?
FM is an Adobe FrameMaker document, used for long technical books and manuals.
- Did you know
- FrameMaker is built for huge structured documents like aircraft manuals.
- FrameMaker was created by Frame Technology in 1986, first running on Sun Unix workstations before reaching the Mac and others.
- Adobe bought Frame Technology in 1995 for around 500 million dollars, making FrameMaker an Adobe product.

- Identify and read more document, ebook and publishing files: Scribus (.sla/.scd version, pages, fonts), MS Works and Windows Write, Word 97 templates (.dot), StarOffice 5.x binary docs, Shanda Bambook and Sony BBeB (.lrf/.lrx) ebooks, FrameMaker, document templates and legacy PageMaker.
- Depth of analysis
- .FM is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .FM file
- Drag a .FM file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
