Extract text from CLKX files
To convert your CLKX file to another format, you need Clicker or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "XML Activity Grid" file type, you need software like Clicker or a similar tool.
A .CLKX file is a specialized activity grid created by Crick Software Clicker, a literacy tool widely used in primary and special education settings. These files store "Grid Sets" - interactive collections of cells containing text, images, and audio prompts designed to help students build sentences and develop writing skills.
The main difficulty with .CLKX files is their proprietary nature. They are designed strictly for the Clicker ecosystem (specifically Clicker 6, 7, and 8). If you are a parent trying to view homework or a teacher without access to the specific version of the software licensed by your school, you cannot open these files natively. While the underlying structure is XML, opening a .CLKX file in a standard text editor reveals a complex, unreadable tree of data tags rather than the visual grid layout.
To share these activities with non-users or for archiving purposes, the most practical solution is converting the file to PDF. This preserves the visual layout of the grids for printing or digital reference. If you need to extract specific text strings or configuration data, converting to raw XML or TXT is the best approach. For quick visual previews on the web, converting the rendered grid to JPG or PNG is recommended.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CLKX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 CLKX converter.
