Convert a file to BFX

To convert other file formats to the "Legacy Fax Document" file type, you need software like Cheyenne BitFax or a similar tool.


About BFX files

The .BFX file extension primarily identifies a Bitware Fax document, a legacy format generated by the now-obsolete Cheyenne BitFax software. These files are effectively digital fossils from the 1990s fax modem era. Because the format is proprietary and the software is discontinued, users often find themselves locked out of their own archived correspondence; modern operating systems like Windows 11 or macOS simply cannot render the image data inside a .BFX file. In a completely different context, this extension is also used by Bluebeam Revu as a Bluebeam Remote Package, which bundles project data for synchronization.

For the legacy fax files, the goal is archival accessibility. We recommend converting .BFX to PDF (for easy reading and printing) or TIFF (to preserve the raw binary fax data). If you are dealing with a Bluebeam package, the file is a container often holding standard PDF content that needs to be extracted or converted for users who do not own a Bluebeam license.
