About formats

CCX (Corel Compressed Exchange) is a compressed vector clipart format developed by Corel Corporation, introduced alongside CorelDRAW 5 in 1994. The format is essentially a compressed variant of CMX (Corel Presentation Exchange), packaging vector artwork, embedded bitmaps, and metadata into a smaller file suitable for distribution on CD-ROM clipart collections and online galleries. CCX files use the same underlying data structure as CMX but apply compression to reduce storage requirements — an important consideration during the 1990s when clip art libraries containing thousands of images shipped on capacity-limited media. Corel distributed vast collections of CCX clipart with CorelDRAW suites, and the format became synonymous with the extensive ready-made graphic libraries that distinguished Corel's product offerings. The artwork stored in CCX files ranges from simple geometric shapes to detailed illustrations, covering categories like business, nature, people, symbols, borders, and decorative elements. One advantage is compact storage — compression allows large clipart libraries to occupy significantly less disk space than equivalent uncompressed vector files. The ready-to-use nature of CCX content is another strength, providing designers with drag-and-drop artwork that scales cleanly to any size without quality loss, inheriting the resolution independence of the underlying vector data. While the format saw its peak usage during the CorelDRAW 5 through 12 era, CCX files remain openable in current versions of CorelDRAW and can be converted to modern formats.

SUN is a raster image format associated with Sun Microsystems workstations, encompassing both the Sun Raster format (.ras) and the Sun Icon format used for window system icons and cursors on SunOS and Solaris systems. Sun Raster files, identifiable by their 0x59a66a95 magic number, store bitmap images in 1-bit monochrome, 8-bit indexed color, 24-bit BGR, or 32-bit XBGR modes, with optional run-length encoding compression and a 32-byte header. The Sun Icon subset is a simpler text-based format used for small monochrome bitmaps — window icons, cursor images, and toolbar graphics — stored as C-language data arrays that could be directly compiled into X Window and SunView applications. These icon files begin with a comment block specifying width, height, and optionally hot spot coordinates (for cursor images), followed by hexadecimal pixel values in a format readable by both the C compiler and the iconedit tool. Sun workstations running SunOS and later Solaris were foundational platforms for Unix computing, networking, and the early internet, and the SUN image formats were integral to their graphical environments. One advantage is the format's dual text/binary nature: Sun Icons are valid C source code that can be #included directly into applications, a practical approach to resource embedding that predates modern asset management systems. The Sun Raster variant's simplicity provides another strength — the 32-byte header and straightforward encoding make it one of the easiest binary image formats to parse. SUN format files are supported by ImageMagick, GIMP, XnView, and Unix image viewing tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert CCX to SUN?

CCX is Corel-exclusive. SUN raster is a native image format for Solaris and Sun workstation environments.

What reads SUN files?

GIMP, XnView, IrfanView, and Solaris imaging tools all support Sun raster format.

Is the conversion lossless?

SUN raster can store uncompressed data — the image quality from your CCX clipart is faithfully preserved.

How quick is it?

Seconds. Cloud processing ensures fast results independent of your device capabilities.

Do I need an account?

No signup required. The converter is open — upload, convert, and download freely.
