Convert a file to PME

To convert other file formats to the "Encrypted Security File" file type, you need software like SoftCamp Document Security or a similar tool.


About PME files

The .PME file extension is most frequently associated with SoftCamp Document Security files. These are proprietary, encrypted containers used by corporations to lock down sensitive documents (like PDFs or Office files) and restrict unauthorized viewing or sharing. Alternatively, it can be a Pixela Movie Editor project file created by PIXELA ImageMixer. A major disadvantage of both formats is their extremely closed nature. SoftCamp files are heavily encrypted and require specific corporate authentication modules to open. They cannot be opened by standard text editors or document viewers. Similarly, PIXELA project files only contain editing metadata, not actual video data, making them useless without the original source media.

Standard online converters fail to process .PME files because they lack the proprietary decryption keys for SoftCamp or the rendering engine for PIXELA. If it is a video project, you must export it from the original software to a standard format like MP4 or MOV. For encrypted documents, decryption within the SoftCamp environment is mandatory before extracting to PDF or DOCX.

Because this is a closed, proprietary format, direct conversion is notoriously difficult. We can inspect the file and often show text or internal content to help you figure out exactly what you are dealing with.

Convert.Guru analyzes your PME file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted WFP, HPRJ and VPP files.
