What is a .CDXML file?

CDXML is the XML form of a ChemDraw chemical structure.

Did you know
  • CDXML stores a drawn molecule as readable XML.
  • CDXML is simply ChemDraw’s CDX format re-expressed in XML, so anything that fits in a CDX file can also be stored as CDXML.
  • ChemDraw was originally created in the mid-1980s and is today developed by Revvity, the former informatics arm of PerkinElmer.

Identify and read more scientific, medical and engineering files: R serialized data (RDS/RData), ABIF sequencing traces, VASP/Gaussian/XCrySDen DFT structures, ChemDraw (CDX/CDXML), Axon ABF and NI TDMS instrument data, BrainVision/Neuroscan/EEGLAB EEG, Gmsh/Abaqus/Nastran/ANSYS FEA decks, SPICE netlists, VTK structured/rectilinear grids and oscilloscope waveforms.
Depth of analysis
.CDXML is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
Open a .CDXML file
Drag a .CDXML file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
