File type: Various data file

The cm4 file extension is associated with ClipMate, a Windows clipboard manager. ClipMate provides clipboard features that the standard Windows clipboard does not provide, including storage and management of thousands of clips.
A cm4 file contains data used by ClipMate, including the application's stored clipboard information. It is an application data file rather than a general-purpose document or interchange format.
The format is intended for use with the Windows version of ClipMate and remains tied to that software. It should not be edited manually because changing its contents outside ClipMate may make the stored data unusable.
Open a cm4 file with ClipMate on Microsoft Windows. If ClipMate is installed, use the program to access the file or associate the cm4 file extension with it.
A cm4 file is not normally readable in a text editor or by standard document applications.
There is no generally supported converter for the proprietary cm4 format. Open the file in ClipMate and use the program's copying or export features to move individual clips into a usable format.
Because the file stores ClipMate application data, renaming its extension or converting it with a generic file converter will not produce a useful result.
