While spatial data is everywhere, you usually have to transform it to make it usable. That means overcoming proprietary formats, confusing data schemas and coordinate systems, and too many sources. FME® Desktop makes it easier for you to convert, transform, and integrate spatial data precisely how you need it. As a result, you can cut through repetitive, time-consuming conversion processes and tough data interoperability issues to get right at your data.

Unrivalled format support

FME Desktop offers the industry's best data format support with a single toolset, enabling quick data conversion in more than 275 spatial and non-spatial formats. That means you can read and write data in CAD, GIS, raster, database, point clouds, 3D, BIM, and more.

Flexible data transformation

Get your data into the precise structure you want. FME Desktop offers more than 400 transformers to help you accurately manipulate the geometry and attributes of your spatial data as it moves from source to destination. By linking transformers, you can perform an infinite variety of complex spatial ETL operations.

Versatile coordinate system conversion

FME Desktop includes more than 5,300 pre-defined coordinate systems so you can quickly convert data based on a variety of projections, ellipsoids, and datums. You can also define your own custom coordinate system.

Intuitive data conversion tools

FME Desktop makes it easier to understand your spatial data and what you're doing with it. With its intuitive user interface, you can quickly define data flows and inspect the results with a single click.

Workbench, FME Desktop's graphical authoring environment, lets you specify data flows ("workspaces") to convert, transform, and integrate spatial data and its associated attribution. You can also use Workbench to design and deploy workspaces to FME Server.

Tightly integrated with Workbench, the Universal Viewer lets you quickly understand and inspect your spatial data throughout the transformation process, ensuring accurate data conversion every time.

Designed for quick translation, the Universal Translator lets you easily perform simple conversions between hundreds of formats with just a few clicks. It's also handy for quickly running workspaces created by others.

Dynamic, data-independent workflows

FME Desktop lets you create a data-independent workflow ("workspace") so that format and schema decisions can be made automatically at runtime. That means fewer workspaces, less maintenance, and more free time for you!

Quick deployment templates

With pre-built templates available for download, FME Desktop makes creating new data flows quick and straightforward. You can publish your own spatial data workflows ("workspaces") as templates for re-use in the future and for sharing with others.

Automated batch processing

Why waste time manually running custom translation scripts? FME Desktop offers batch processing, so you can run large data conversions ("workspaces") automatically.

Integration with your work environment

FME Desktop is designed to play well with the applications and systems you already use. Python, C++, and Java callers make it easy to extend and integrate FME to work with your business processes and systems.
