Convert a file to HX

To convert other file formats to the "Source Code File" file type, you need software like Haxe Toolkit or a similar tool.


About HX files

A .hx file primarily stores source code written in the Haxe programming language. It is heavily utilized in cross-platform game development, notably driving the HaxeFlixel game engine behind indie titles like Dicey Dungeons and One Step From Eden. Secondarily, the .hx extension is used as a 3D visualization project script in Amira and Avizo software by Thermo Fisher Scientific.

The main disadvantage of .hx files is their lack of native execution. You cannot double-click a .hx file to run a program or load a webpage. It requires a dedicated compiler ecosystem to function. Amira .hx scripts present an even bigger challenge: they are strictly proprietary, locking your 3D workflow into an expensive, specialized software ecosystem.

To make this code usable, you must convert it. For web deployment, target JS (JavaScript). For native desktop applications, convert to CPP (C++) or CS (C#). If you simply need to review the raw code or share it with non-developers, convert it to standard TXT or MD files.

Convert.Guru analyzes your HX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted TXT, JSON, PP, F90 and TSX files.

The HX 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 HX converter.
