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.
1
Drop the file
Drag it anywhere on the page or choose it from the upload box.
2
We identify it
The matching software family and target versions open automatically.
3
Pick the output
Choose the older version, print-safe PDF, outline fonts, or source conversion service.
4
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.
Print-ready PDF repair
Outline fonts, flatten transparency, PDF/X output and prepress checks for printers.

Proof before promises.
VersionFixer now explains what is automated, what needs a licensed controlled worker, and when a job is queued for support escalation.
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.
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.
Honest engine status
PDF/SVG-style jobs can run with available tools. Proprietary CAD, 3D, and Adobe jobs need licensed controlled workers inside a monitored queue.
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 support escalation | Controlled worker path |
| MAX / Revit / CATIA / SolidWorks | Known extension and target list | Geometry/plugins may be lossy | Assets/plugins must be supplied | Controlled worker path |
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.
