PSD to CMX

Looking to convert PSD to CMX? Here's the honest answer — and what works instead.

We don't create CMX files — it's a legacy format that's effectively read-only. Here's what to convert to instead.

Why PSD to CMX isn't offered

1

CMX is legacy and read-only here

CMX is an older vector format. It can usually be opened and converted from, but it's long obsolete, so there's no modern encoder to create new CMX files.

Convert to a current format

For a file that opens everywhere, convert your PSD to PNG, JPG or TIFF instead.
