ZXP files are Adobe extension packages containing software that adds functionality to Adobe products. Users can install ZXP files by double-clicking them. The extension manager handles the installation. ZXP files work on Windows and macOS so developers can create cross-platform extensions.
ZXP files include digital signatures to identify the publisher. They use standard ZIP compression. The file type associates with Adobe Creative Cloud and Extension Manager to manage and install extensions.
Many incompatible file types wrongly use the ZXP extension. Adobe Systems developed the package format and Extension Manager program. Use the right tool to open, view, edit, or convert ZXP files.
ZXP files add plugins and filters to Photoshop. Open them with Adobe Creative Cloud apps and Extension Manager. The packages customize and streamline workflow by enhancing application functionality.
The application may not open ZXP files itself. But you can manually set it to open in Extension Manager via the file properties context menu. This shows the file type and program used to launch it. The “Change” button sets the program for the file type.
