About MFX files
The .mfx extension creates significant confusion because it serves three distinct, incompatible purposes, often leaving users with a file they cannot open.
Clickteam Fusion Extension (Most Common): These are compiled binary plugins (essentially renamed DLL files) used by Clickteam Fusion 2.5 to add specific functionality - like physics, networking, or joystick support - to games and applications.
The Problem: Because they are compiled code, you cannot "convert" them into editable text or generic images. They are locked to the Clickteam runtime environment.
The Solution: If you are a developer, these files must be placed in the Extensions directory of your installation. You cannot edit them directly.
MediaFace eXchange Project: A legacy format from Neato for designing CD/DVD labels and inserts.
The Problem: The software is largely obsolete, making these files difficult to print or view on modern Windows or macOS systems.
The Solution: For archiving or printing, the best workflow is to open the file in the original MediaFace software (if accessible) or a compatible viewer and "print" the output to PDF or a high-resolution TIFF or PNG image. This creates a universally accessible copy of your label design.
MT Framework Shader: Used by games like Devil May Cry 4 or Resident Evil 5 (Capcom).
The Problem: These are compiled shader binaries, optimized for the GPU, not human readability.
The Solution: Modders may attempt to reverse-engineer these to text-based HLSL files, but for general users, these files should remain untouched in the game directory to prevent crashes.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MFX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MXF, MP4, CCA, CC1 and RUN files.

The MFX 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 MFX converter.
