What is a HMK file?
HMK is an extension that is specific to files associated with a greeting card maker called Hallmark Card Studio. HMK files are used to store projects made in the program. The user has the option of placing his own photos in such projects, e.g. when creating calendars, postcards or album pages.
Hallmark Card Studio contains approximately 11,000 sample projects and has a library of over 13,000 graphics. The software was developed by Hallmark Software.

How to open HMK files
If you cannot open the HMK file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports HMK among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the HMK file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the HMK format files
The inability to open and operate the HMK file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Hallmark Card Studio Card Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a HMK file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the HMK file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the HMK from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the HMK format
- The HMK file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the HMK file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a HMK file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the HMK file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the HMK file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the HMK file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.HMK) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected HMK file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the HMK file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. HMK) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
