Extract text from CSE files
To convert your CSE file to another format, you need OpenText RightFax or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Template" file type, you need software like OpenText RightFax or a similar tool.
A .CSE file is a classic example of a filename extension collision, meaning it can serve three completely unrelated functions depending on its origin. Most commonly, it is a Cover Sheet Editor file created by OpenText RightFax. These files act as proprietary templates defining the layout, logos, and merge fields (e.g., recipient name, fax number) for automated fax transmissions. They are not standard image files and cannot be opened by standard viewers like Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Word.
In scientific research, a .CSE file is often a CompuSyn Experiment file. This format stores drug combination analysis data used to calculate the Combination Index (CI) for determining synergy or antagonism in pharmacology. These files are typically Java-based and strictly locked to the CompuSyn software environment. Finally, in the hobbyist sector, .CSE files store cross-stitch or embroidery patterns for software like Crossty or Compucon EOS.
The primary friction for users is that these formats are mutually exclusive - a RightFax viewer cannot open a cross-stitch pattern. For archiving or sharing, the best workaround is converting the visual representation (Fax templates and Stitch patterns) to PDF or JPG. For scientific data, users usually need to extract the results to CSV or XLSX for use in Microsoft Excel.

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 CSE converter.
