Formats supported in Adobe Experience Manager Assets assets-supported-formats
Experience Manager Assets supports a wide range of file formats and each functionality has varied support for different MIME types. To integrate Assets with other standards-compliant digital asset management (DAM) solutions and desktop software, use Adobe’s Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP).
Use the legend to understand the support level.
Supported raster image formats in Experience Manager supported-raster-image-formats
The supported raster image formats in Assets are:
‡ The merged image is extracted from the PSD file. It is an image that is generated by Adobe Photoshop and is included in the PSD file. Depending on the settings, the merged image may or may not be the actual image.
In addition to the information above, consider the following:
-
The support for EPS files applies to raster images only. For example, thumbnail generation for EPS vector images is not supported by default. To add support, configure ImageMagick. To integrate third-party tools to enable additional capabilities, see Command line based Media Handler.
-
Metadata writeback works for PSB file format when it is added to the
NCommhandler. -
For EPS files, metadata writeback is supported in PostScript Document Structuring Convention (PS-Adobe) version 3.0 or later.
Supported 3D formats support-3d-formats
The following list of 3D formats is supported.

Supported PDF Rasterizer library supported-pdf-rasterizer-library
The Adobe PDF Rasterizer library generates high-quality thumbnails and previews for large and content-intensive Adobe Illustrator and PDF files. Adobe recommends using the PDF Rasterizer library for the following:
- Content-intensive AI/PDF files that are resource-intensive to process.
- AI/PDF files, for which thumbnails are not generated by default.
- AI files with Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors.
See Using PDF Rasterizer.
Supported Image Transcoding library supported-image-transcoding-library
The Adobe Imaging Transcoding library is an image-processing solution that performs core image-handling functions, such as, encoding, transcoding, resampling, and resizing.
Imaging Transcoding library supports JPG/JPEG, PNG (8-bit and 16-bit), GIF, BMP, TIFF/Compressed TIFF (apart from 32-bit TIFF files and PTIFF files), ICO, and ICN MIME types.
See Imaging Transcoding Library.
Supported Camera Raw supported-camera-raw
The Adobe Camera Raw library enables Assets to ingest raw images. See Camera Raw support.
Supported Assets document formats supported-document-formats
Document formats supported for asset management features are as follows:
extraction
generation
Supported multimedia formats supported-multimedia-formats
Supported archive formats supported-archive-formats
The supported archive formats and the applicability of the common DAM workflows, are covered in the following table.
Other supported formats other-supported-formats
The applicability of the usual DAM functionalities for a few specific file formats is described below.
Supported MIME types supported-mime-types
By default, Experience Manager detects the file type using the file extension. Experience Manager can detect it from the contents of the files. For latter, select Detect MIME from content option in Day CQ DAM Mime Type Service in the Experience Manager Web Console.
A list of supported MIME types is available in CRXDE Lite at /conf/global/settings/cloudconfigs/dmscene7/jcr:content/mimeTypes.
