Extract text from Metin2 game assets (EIX)
To convert EIX game assets to another format, you need Metin2 or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Encrypted Game Index" file type, you need software like Metin2 or a similar tool.
The .eix file is a proprietary encrypted index file used by the MMORPG Metin2 to map and load game assets from companion archives. It is natively utilized by the game client, originally developed by Ymir Entertainment and currently managed by Webzen Games. Modders frequently use third-party unpackers like EterNexus to access these files.
Users typically need to convert or unpack this file to extract 3D models, scripts, and textures for private servers or community modding. The format has massive disadvantages for general use: it utilizes proprietary XOR encryption and LZO compression. You cannot open it natively in standard operating systems, and standard archivers will fail to read it. Attempting to view the file in a text editor yields useless gibberish.
The best conversion targets are unpacked, readable XML files for the index mapping, alongside raw extracted assets like GR2 for 3D models and DDS for textures.
This file format is extremely difficult to open or convert. Because it is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters completely fail to process it. Often, only the original game client or dedicated reverse-engineered unpackers can properly read or export the data. Despite these heavy restrictions, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal hex content. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if a supported underlying format is detected.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EIX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EPK, UPK, ESM and FORGE files.

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 EIX converter.
