Extract text from Informer export files (IXP)
To convert IXP export files to another format, you need Entrinsik Informer or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Business Intelligence Export" file type, you need software like Entrinsik Informer or a similar tool.
An .IXP file is primarily an Informer Report Data Package generated by Entrinsik Informer, a modern business intelligence and analytics platform. These files are used to bundle, export, and transfer reports, dashboards, and dataset definitions between different IT environments (e.g., from a testing server to production). The .IXP extension is also used for ISIPublisher Publication Information Export files and as a decompression configuration file (p1convert.ixp) for the Phase One Image SDK.
The frustrating part with the Informer .IXP format is that it acts as a proprietary, closed container. If you try to open it with standard office suites like Microsoft Excel or standard web browsers, it fails completely. Users are often frustrated when they cannot access the report definitions without purchasing or installing an expensive, active software license to import the package.
Because standard online converters do not recognize this niche format, they will typically fail to process it. However, under the hood, an Informer .IXP file is essentially a standard ZIP archive. By targeting a conversion to ZIP, you can extract its contents into highly readable XML or JSON files that describe the report logic.
convert.guru cuts through these proprietary limitations. Just drag and drop your .IXP file to identify its true internal structure. Our analysis engine will detect the underlying ZIP container or XML metadata, allowing you to instantly inspect the text, view embedded content, and extract the raw instructions without needing the original BI software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IXP 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 IXP converter.
