What is a CCX file?

CCX files mostly belong to Adobe Photoshop. CCX files are not a single file type but several container files that store data for different applications.
  • Photoshop Plugin Package: These CCX files use a ZIP container to bundle plugin code and resources for Adobe Photoshop.
  • Corel Clipart Exchange File: They hold clipart images for CorelDRAW using a RIFF format structure. More info is available at CorelDRAW.
  • Character Creator File: These files store motion capture data used in character design. Check details at Character Creator.
  • Cocos Creator Data File: They contain animation data in a binary format for game asset creation. Visit Cocos Creator for reference.
  • Motor Controller Config File: This format holds CNC drive configuration settings, handled by tools like ClearPath Configurator. More can be read at Kollmorgen.
  • Total Annihilation File: Used in games, these files include HAPI collision data. See Total Annihilation for background.
  • FilExt.com tip: Each file’s internal structure — like ZIP or RIFF — defines how to open and edit it. Use the software matched to the file’s purpose to view or modify its contents.

    How to open a CCX file

    You need a suitable software like Adobe Photoshop to open a CCX file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your CCX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CCX file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

    The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature).
