File extension frm is associated with MySQL, a popular relational database management system (RDBMS).
Every MySQL table is represented by MySQL database metadata file on disk as a frm file (also known as "Format" file).
A .frm file describes the table's format (table definition) including fields and structure of each table. The file has the same name as the table. FRM files are also important for MySQL database recovery.
MySQL database metadata files (.frm files) are related to MySQL database data files (.myd files and .myi files).
Old database system dBase was also using FRM file extension for one of its format. However, this format, known as dBase FRM report is in no way related to MySQL FRM format.
The *.frm files are used for internal purposes of MySQL database system.
These files contain just metadata, thus they are not meant to be converted anything else.

The FRM file extension is also related to files written in the Extensible Forms Description Language (XFDL), an XML-based language designed to represent complex business forms on the Web.
XFDL includes support for multiple overlapping digital signatures, and auditable transaction records. XFDL can provide full non-repudiation of contractual forms.
Protecting the privacy of an XFDL document during transmission is done using common http encrytion techniques. Some thought has been given to providing a built-in system on encryption to protect the privacy of XFDL document while they reside in a file system, but no such system exists at this time.
