Extract text from Hungarian e-Papír documents (KRX)
To convert KRX document containers to another format, you need e-Papír or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Secure Document Container" file type, you need software like e-Papír or a similar tool.
The .krx file is a secure electronic document container used exclusively by the e-Papír portal, which is the Hungarian government's electronic administration platform. It functions as a digital envelope to bundle citizen submissions, attached forms, and verified electronic signatures into a single transmission package.
The major disadvantage of a .krx file is its strict geographic and institutional limitation. It is a highly localized, proprietary format that is not supported by standard office software like Microsoft Word or conventional PDF readers. If you receive a .krx file outside of the Hungarian e-government ecosystem, you cannot natively view the contents. The official platform requires authentication to process these files, which creates a frustrating bottleneck for users who simply want to read their own documents.
The best workaround for accessing the data is to treat the file as a compressed archive, as its internal structure is based on standard ZIP compression. Converting or extracting the .krx to a ZIP format allows you to bypass the government portal and access the internal PDF documents and XML metadata directly. Note that extracting the files manually will break the digital seal, making the files invalid for official resubmission.
Because this is a closed government container, standard online converters fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view its internal structure, and extract the internal contents. If our analysis detects the underlying ZIP architecture, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KRX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ZIP, XML, ASICE, GZ, IO and LZH files.
If you want to convert KRX file to SYS, DLL, EXE, DRV, VXD, 386, COM, BAT, CMD, SCR, PIF or LNK, you can use e-Papír or similar software from the "Government Document Container" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MSI, EXE, REG, MST, LNK, CAB, CAT, DRV, INF, SYS, MSU or DLL files to KRX, try e-Papír or another comparable tool in the "Government Document Container" 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 KRX converter.
