Extract text from Tax returns and snapshots (ATX)
To convert ATX Files to another format, you need Apple Xcode or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mixed Data File" file type, you need software like Apple Xcode or a similar tool.
The .ATX file extension is highly fragmented and used across completely unrelated industries. Its most common use is as an Apple Texture Snapshot file, which Apple developers use to store compressed GPU textures for iOS and macOS applications. Another major use case is as a US Tax Return file generated by ATX Tax Software or TaxAct. Furthermore, it serves as an Antenna Exchange Format file for the International GNSS Service (IGS) to hold antenna calibration data, and as an export format in Autodesk Vehicle Tracking.
Opening an .ATX file depends entirely on its source. Texture snapshots require Apple's development tools or specific Apple Texture Converters. Tax returns are actually standard ZIP archives wrapped in a proprietary extension and require specialized tax software to view properly. GNSS calibration files are plain text but require scientific tools like CCANTEX to interpret correctly.
Users frequently need to convert .ATX files because of strict software lock-in. Apple texture files are completely useless outside of the Apple hardware ecosystem and fail to open in standard image viewers. Tax return .ATX files are locked behind expensive annual subscriptions, forcing users to convert them just to read their own financial history.
For tax archiving, renaming the .ATX extension to ZIP allows data extraction, but converting the internal tax documents to PDF/A is necessary for long-term storage and printing. For developers, converting Apple Texture Snapshots to PNG or WebP makes the graphics viewable in standard web browsers.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ATX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GDBTABLE, AATX, ATX23EXPORT, GDBINDEXES, GDBTABLX, ATX22EXPORT, DOCM, ATX24EXPORT, AXT, DOC, ZIP, GDB and SPX files.
If you want to convert ATX file to ATR, SHP, KML, KMZ, GPX, GEOJSON, TOPOJSON, TIF, TIFF, ECW, SID or IMG, you can use Apple Xcode or similar software from the "Texture Snapshot or Tax Return" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert LAZ, KMZ, DTM, CSV, DEM, PRJ, LAS, GPX, DSM, SHP, DBF or KML files to ATX, try Apple Xcode or another comparable tool in the "Texture Snapshot or Tax Return" category.
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 ATX converter.
