How do I open, or change over to .jpg, a .mix extension file?

Asked by Rickomg (259points) April 28th, 2009

I have alot of pictures from an old computer that I want to save but they were all .MIX files and I can’t do anything with them.

Mix files seem to be the Microsoft Picture It format used by Microsoft’s PictureIt!

I think some versions of MS Word will import them and from there you can Save As .jpg

XnView should be able to convert them for you. Beats having to import/export them all one at a time.

Have you had experience with this XnView? I checked the specks and it didn’t mention Mix Files.

Well crud… according to the good folks at XnView, .mix is a closed format and they recommend trying to use plugins, specifically Xcompound.dll that comes with the complete XnView.

I haven’t yet determined how to get the complete version.

Apparently if you add the files to a Word document and then Save As web page then they get saved as jpgs in a folder.
