BM2 is also used as the extension for Boardmaker Interactive Board files that store activities and lessons used by the Boardmaker program. Other Boardmaker files are in the ZIP or ZBP format because they’re archives used for holding multiple boards in one file.
How to Open a BM2 File
BM2 files can be opened with nearly any program that can open BMP files. This includes the Windows Paint program, Adobe Photoshop, and others. Boardmaker is used to open Boardmaker Interactive Board files. These files may have quizzes and other lessons that are made specifically for students that have special needs. Depending on your version of Boardmaker, you might have to import the BM2, ZIP, or ZBP file through New > Project from Boardmaker Import. This should only be the case if you’re using Boardmaker Studio to open boards from Boardmaker or Boardmaker Plus v5 or v6.
How to Convert a BM2 File
We don’t know of any specific conversion tools that can save a BM2 file to another image file type, but since this format is really just BMP spelled with the .BM2 file extension, you can, as mentioned above, just rename the file so it has the .BMP extension instead. Then, if you want the new .BMP file to be in a different image format, you can use a free image converter to save it to JPG, PNG, TIF, or whatever other formats you’d like it in. One quick way to do that is with FileZigZag since you can convert the file online without having to download any software. Although we haven’t verified this ourselves, we’re pretty sure that BM2 files used with Boardmaker can be converted to other similar formats. This is most likely done through a File > Save As or File > Save Project As menu, or maybe something similar like an Export or Convert button.
Still Can’t Open It?
If your file isn’t opening with any of those suggestions, you might be misreading the file extension and confusing a BMK (BillMinder Backup), BML (Bean Markup Language), BMD (MU Online Game Data), or another file with similar letters, with a BM2 file.
