About CMX files

The .CMX file extension represents the Corel Metafile Exchange format (officially known as Corel Presentation Exchange), a legacy vector graphic standard created by Corel Corporation. Designed as a "digital clipboard," CMX files use the RIFF container to facilitate the transfer of image data - including vector shapes, bitmaps, and text - between Corel applications like CorelDRAW and Corel Presentations.

While efficient within the Corel ecosystem, .CMX files present significant compatibility hurdles for modern workflows. They are proprietary and notoriously difficult to open accurately in non-Corel software like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape, often resulting in missing color palettes, distorted paths, or flattened layers. For web use, browsers cannot render them at all. To make these files usable, users should convert them to SVG for web scaling and editing, PDF for universal viewing and archiving, or EPS for compatibility with Adobe Creative Cloud tools. Convert.guru allows you to drag and drop these legacy metafile images to instantly view and convert them without purchasing a CorelDRAW subscription.

Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your CMX file.

Users also converted CDR, INP, HSF, ZIP, PDF, AI, DXF, SCH, DWG, TMP, AAE, BIN and CDT files.

The CMX Converter Story

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 CMX converter.
