Extract text from PSX files
To convert your PSX file to another format, you need SoMove or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project & Configuration Files" file type, you need software like SoMove or a similar tool.
The .psx extension is a multi-purpose container used by three distinct industries: industrial automation, 3D photogrammetry, and security surveillance.
Most commonly, a .psx file is a Drive Configuration Project created by Schneider Electric SoMove. These files contain parameter settings for Altivar drives and soft starters. The file itself is a ZIP archive containing XML data. Engineers often need to convert these projects to CFG (Config) files for transfer via the Multi-Loader tool, or to PDF for documentation. A common limitation is that these files cannot be opened without the specific SoMove software version matching the drive's firmware.
In the world of 3D scanning, .psx acts as the project index for Agisoft Metashape (formerly PhotoScan). This XML-based file links to a corresponding _files directory containing heavy point cloud and texture data. Users frequently try to "convert" this file when they actually intend to export the 3D model to standard formats like OBJ, FBX, or PLY for use in Blender or Unreal Engine.
Less frequently, .psx files are signed video exports from Pelco video management systems. Designed to be tamper-proof for court evidence, these files do not play in standard media players like VLC. Users must use the proprietary Pelco Export Viewer to convert the footage to AVI or MP4 for general viewing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PSX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BIN, CUE, 7Z, IMG, ZIP, PBP, ISO, PPSX, RAR, CHD, MDF, MJP and GME files.
If you want to convert PSX file to PSP, PBP, CHD, MP4, ISO, PDF, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML or TOML, you can use SoMove or similar software from the "Drive Configuration Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to PSX, try SoMove or another comparable tool in the "Drive Configuration Project" category.
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 PSX converter.
