What is the CMX file format?

CMX is a Corel Presentation Exchange metafile used to exchange vector artwork (and embedded bitmaps) between Corel applications.

CMX file characteristics

Data typeVector image (metafile)
MIME typeimage/x-cmx
Structure typeRIFF-based chunked metafile
Container formatRIFF/RIFX container (little-/big-endian variants) storing Corel drawing primitives; can include embedded raster images
MetadataMay include palette/spot-color definitions, object/layer properties, and other application-specific metadata
Standard / SpecificationNo formal open standard; RIFF-based Corel CMX format
Typical file sizeUsually small for vector-only art; can grow significantly with embedded high-resolution bitmaps

Advantages

The CMX file format offers several advantages that make it suitable for common use cases.

  • Preserves scalable vector objects;
  • Can include layers and embedded bitmaps;
  • Supports CMYK and spot colors in Corel workflows

Limitations

The CMX file format has certain limitations that may affect its use in specific scenarios.

  • Feature support varies by CMX version and importer;
  • Complex effects may not round-trip perfectly through third-party converters

Compatibility

CMX vector files are supported by a wide range of design and graphics applications.

  • Supported platforms: CorelDRAW/PHOTO-PAINT on Windows and macOS; limited import via third-party tools (e.g., LibreOffice via libcdr)
  • Supported devices: Computers; print/prepress devices via export to standard formats
  • Browser support: No
  • Mobile support: No
  • Backward compatibility: Yes

Security considerations

Treat CMX as untrusted input: complex parsers exist and malformed files can trigger crashes in importers. Convert in a sandbox and keep software updated.
