What is a TPM file?

TPM files mostly belong to BitLocker by Microsoft. A TPM file is an XML-encoded backup of owner authorization information used by the Trusted Platform Module on a computer. Windows operating system implements Trusted Platform Module technology for hardware-based (chip) security functions. Its BitLocker drive encryption software can read such a TPM file. Another type of TPM file contains model transformation parameters used by Rational Software Architect Designer Unified Modeling Language modeling and development environment. TPM is also the filename extension of a macro used by TextPad text editor. CrazyTalk modeling and animation software saves a model in a TPM file.

How to open TPM files

You need a suitable software like BitLocker to open a TPM file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TPM file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TPM file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
