Extract text from Pixie projects (PXW)
To convert PXW projects to another format, you need Starshine Legacy or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Asset File" file type, you need software like Starshine Legacy or a similar tool.
A .PXW file primarily serves as a localization text file or game data asset for the game Starshine Legacy. It contains in-game text, translations, and configuration parameters. Alternatively, it functions as a project file created by Tech4Learning Pixie, an educational creativity tool used to combine text, original artwork, voice narration, and images. Some legacy systems also associate .PXW files with TextAloud documents or Microsoft PowerPoint exports.
Because these files are heavily fragmented by use case, they are notoriously difficult to manage. The game localization variant is a proprietary, closed format that prevents standard text editors from correctly parsing the data without corrupting the game's internal formatting. The educational Pixie files compile multiple media assets into a single proprietary container, meaning you cannot easily extract the audio or images without the original software. Neither format is natively supported by modern web browsers or standard operating systems.
Converting educational projects to PDF or JPG is ideal for sharing with parents or teachers, while game text variants are best converted to plain TXT or XML for modding. However, standard online converters usually fail because .PXW relies on proprietary architecture. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, inspect the internal hex data, and view any readable text. If our analysis detects a supported embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PXW file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VSF, ALO and MAE files.
If you want to convert PXW file to TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD, MARKDOWN, LOG or NFO, you can use Starshine Legacy or similar software from the "Game Localization & Projects" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to PXW, try Starshine Legacy or another comparable tool in the "Game Localization & Projects" 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 PXW converter.
