What is a JAM file?

JAM files mostly belong to Figma FigJam.

JAM files serve several purposes. The most common is a Figma FigJam file, which holds digital whiteboard and diagram data stored in a compressed (ZIP) format. Open these files with Figma’s FigJam tool available at Figma FigJam or via Figma online.
Other uses include:

• Game resource files used with the Sierra AGI Engine.
• Game data files for titles such as Grim Fandango (GOG) and LEGO Racers.
• Recording files from Line 6 Pod Farm.
• Apple binary plist files used in GarageBand projects.

FilExt.com note: Even though many JAM files share the same extension, the internal structure and purpose depend on the generating software. In some cases, renaming the file to .zip and extracting its contents can reveal more about its design elements.
