The fme file extension is associated with FME, also known as Feature Manipulation Engine, from Safe Software.
An fme file stores instructions that describe how FME Desktop should map, transform, or otherwise process data during a translation. It is part of the FME workflow rather than a standalone GIS data set.
The format is intended for use with FME Desktop on Microsoft Windows. The files are proprietary to FME, and no other application can read or convert them.
Open an fme file with FME Desktop on Microsoft Windows. FME Desktop provides the tools required to interpret and use the mapping definitions in the file.
Use FME software to convert fme files.
