File compatibility for design, print and engineering

Upload the file. We detect it, then show the right versions.

Convert urgent AI, PSD, PDF, CDR, DWG and 3D compatibility problems into a clear target file, without making the user guess the software version first.

A simple path when a deadline is already on fire.

The page now behaves like a product funnel: detect the file, choose the version, convert, then download or understand the next step.

Drop the file

Drag it anywhere on the page or choose it from the upload box.

We identify it

The matching software family and target versions open automatically.

Pick the output

Choose the older version, print-safe PDF, outline fonts, or source conversion service.

Convert and download

You see upload progress, conversion state, and a download button when the file is ready.

Built around real file-version pain, not generic conversion noise.

The strongest use cases are print, packaging, CAD handoff, agency file rescue, and source compatibility for older software.

Illustrator and vector files

Downgrade AI/EPS/SVG work, preserve layers where possible, and prepare print-safe PDF handoffs.

AI EPS SVG

PDF

Print-ready PDF repair

Outline fonts, flatten transparency, PDF/X output and prepress checks for printers.

CAD and factory handoff

DWG/DXF version targets for workshops, CNC, architecture and production teams.

Packaging and dielines

ArtiosCAD, Esko, CF2, DXF and packaging PDF workflows for print production.

Proof before promises.

VersionFixer now explains what is automated, what needs a controlled worker, and when a job becomes a manual compatibility case.

Demo

Safe sample workflow

Try the flow with small files first. The interface shows detection, target versions, progress, and the download state before you trust it with client work.

Payment

Pay only on success

Credits are reserved in the quote, but charged when a successful result is downloaded. Failed or unsupported jobs show a clear next step.

Workers

Honest engine status

PDF/SVG-style jobs can run with available tools. Proprietary CAD, 3D, and Adobe jobs need licensed controlled workers or manual review.

Supported features at a glance

This matrix is intentionally honest. It shows expected handling, not a fake guarantee that every proprietary effect can be rebuilt.

File family	Detection	Layers / geometry	Fonts / links	Current status
AI / EPS / SVG	Extension + preflight scan	Preserve when worker supports target	Outline and PDF-safe options	Priority focus
PDF print	Header and format checks	Flatten / PDF/X workflows	Outline text and prepress checks	Automatable path
DWG / DXF	Extension + CAD target list	Layer names and purge options	External refs need review	Worker required for native exports
PSD / PSB	Photoshop family detection	Layer preservation depends on effects	Fonts and smart objects can require review	Worker/manual path
MAX / Revit / CATIA / SolidWorks	Known extension and target list	Geometry/plugins may be lossy	Assets/plugins must be supplied	Controlled worker/manual only

Known limitations

Being clear about limits builds trust with designers, printers, and engineering teams.

Missing fonts, plugins, linked images, or render engines can change the result.
Corrupted source files may fail before conversion; failed jobs are not charged as successful downloads.
Some proprietary downgrades require licensed desktop workers and cannot be safely done with open-source tools alone.
Large CAD/3D jobs may need queue processing rather than instant browser-style conversion.
