Extract text from SKX files
To convert your SKX file to another format, you need Xactimate or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "Insurance Estimation" file type, you need software like Xactimate or a similar tool.
The .skx extension primarily identifies a Property Claim Sketch file created by Xactimate, the industry-standard software for property claims estimation developed by Verisk. These files function as containers (often ZIP-compressed) holding vector-based floor plans, structural dimensions, and restoration data used by insurance adjusters and contractors.
The main challenge with .skx files is their proprietary nature; they are designed exclusively for the Xactimate ecosystem, which typically requires a costly monthly subscription to access. This is a major drawback for homeowners, subcontractors, or legal teams who need to view the floor plan without purchasing a license. Furthermore, these files are not natively supported by web browsers or standard CAD viewers.
For general viewing and sharing, the best approach is converting .skx to PDF documents, ensuring the layout remains fixed for printing. If you need to embed the floor plan into a web report, converting to JPG or PNG is ideal. For data extraction or archiving, converting the internal structure to XML or standard text formats allows for parsing without the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SKX 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 SKX converter.
