How to convert cloupe files to mtx

I have 2 cloupe files from a project on GEO. I need to reprocess this data but cannot find a way to extract the gene expression table from the cloupe files. I tried Loupe Browser from cell ranger but this only allows subset exports and not of the entire data within. Does anyone know of a tool that can convert a cloupe file to a format that can then be processed in Python/R?

Ask 10XGenomics, but I don't believe this is possible. Their Loupe format is probably proprietary, so it won't be obvious how to extract what you want from it.
