Convert ASHX to another file type
To convert ASHX web files to another format, you need Microsoft ASP.NET or other Web software.
Convert a file to ASHX
To convert other file formats to the "ASP.NET HTTP Handler" file type, you need software like Microsoft ASP.NET or a similar tool.
About ASHX files
An .ASHX file is an ASP.NET HTTP Handler file used by Microsoft IIS web servers to dynamically generate web content, such as images or documents, in response to client requests. In the real world, average users only encounter .ASHX files by accident. When downloading a file from a portal (like a bank statement or an event ticket), the web server sometimes fails to send the correct Content-Disposition HTTP headers. This causes the web browser to save the file using the server-side script's name, typically resulting in an unopenable file named something like 'download.ashx'. The biggest disadvantage of this file format is the confusion it causes: it is not a proprietary document, but rather a standard file disguised by the wrong file extension. Standard operating systems and software like Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Word will refuse to open it, and most basic online converters fail because they look at the .ASHX extension and expect web code, not a misnamed binary document. You usually do not need a complex conversion process; you just need to identify what the file actually is. We can identify if the file is internally a .PDF, .JPG, .ZIP, or Microsoft Word document. If our analysis detects a supported embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ASHX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert ASHX file to PDF, JPG, PNG, MP4, HTML, HTM, CSS, JS, PHP, ASP, ASPX or JSP, you can use Microsoft ASP.NET or similar software from the "Dynamic Web Content Generation" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RSS, CSS, CGI, SITEMAP, PL, WEBMANIFEST, JSON, JS, XML, HTML, ICO or HTM files to ASHX, try Microsoft ASP.NET or another comparable tool in the "Dynamic Web Content Generation" category.
The ASHX Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ASHX converter.
