# Converting Between Tensors and Matrices

>> Tensor Toolbox >> Working with Tensors >> Converting Between Tensors and Matrices

The Tensor Toolbox provides the following classes to support conversion of tensors to/from matrices:

- `tenmat` - Tensor as a matrix, with extra information so that it can be converted back into a tensor.
- `sptenmat` - Store an sptensor as a sparse matrix in coordinate format, with extra information so that it can be converted back into an sptensor.
