Extract text from ARTWORK files
To convert your ARTWORK file to another format, you need Drawing Desk or other Raster Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mobile App Project File" file type, you need software like Drawing Desk or a similar tool.
The .artwork file extension is primarily associated with Drawing Desk, a popular mobile creativity app developed by 4Axis Solutions. These files act as proprietary containers (often structurally similar to ZIP archives) that store the complete state of a digital drawing project. This includes multiple layers, stroke vectors, image assets, undo history, and metadata required to resume editing within the app on iOS or Android devices.
For most users, the main challenge is that .artwork files are proprietary project files, not viewable images. You cannot upload a .artwork file directly to Instagram, attach it to an email as a picture, or open it in standard desktop software like Adobe Photoshop or generic image viewers. They are designed exclusively for the Drawing Desk ecosystem. Additionally, a small percentage of these files may be thumbnail metadata generated by Procreate (typically JPG based) or legacy 3D rendering data from Artlantis.
To make these files usable outside the app, they must be converted to standard formats. For sharing on social media or the web, convert to WebP or JPG. For high-quality printing or archiving without compression artifacts, PNG or PDF are the ideal targets. Advanced users looking to recover assets can sometimes treat the file as a ZIP to extract internal components.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ARTWORK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ARTWORK converter.
