Extract text from TXE files
To convert your TXE file to another format, you need RenderWare or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Texture Dictionary Archive" file type, you need software like RenderWare or a similar tool.
The .txe extension represents a fragmented landscape of file formats, most frequently appearing as a RenderWare Texture Dictionary or a MARTIF Terminology Exchange file.
For gamers and modders, a .txe file is a container used by the RenderWare engine (developed by Criterion Games) to store texture assets for older 3D titles. These files are essentially binary archives holding multiple raster images. The biggest obstacle here is that standard image viewers like Windows Photos or macOS Preview cannot open them; they appear as unreadable binary data. To inspect or edit the textures (often for modding characters or environments), users must extract the contents and convert them to standard formats like PNG, TGA, or BMP.
In the professional translation sector, a .txe file serves as a MARTIF (Machine-Readable Terminology Interchange Format) document conforming to ISO 12200. These are XML-based text files used to exchange glossary data between tools like SDL Trados Studio. While they are technically human-readable text, the complex XML nesting makes them impractical for manual editing. Translators often need to convert these into XLSX (Excel) or CSV to share terminology lists with clients who don't possess specialized translation software.
Other less common variations include encrypted security logs from Trend Micro (which generally cannot be converted due to encryption) and TeX font encoding files.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TXE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TEX, ITD, SDLPPX and SDLXLIFF files.

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 TXE converter.
