Extract text from Unreal Engine cache files (UXX)
To convert UXX cache files to another format, you need Unreal Engine or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Cache Data" file type, you need software like Unreal Engine or a similar tool.
The .UXX file format is a proprietary cache file used by Unreal Engine and multiplayer games developed by Epic Games. When a player connects to a custom multiplayer server in games like Unreal Tournament, the engine automatically downloads custom maps, textures, sounds, and 3D models to the local disk. To manage these downloads, the engine renames the assets and changes their file extension to .UXX.
This format presents several disadvantages for regular users. It is entirely proprietary and cannot be opened directly in standard operating systems, image viewers, or web browsers. You cannot view the contents without the original game engine or a specialized third-party extractor. Because .UXX files are actually renamed game packages - containing files like UTX (textures), UAX (audio), or UKX (animations) - standard online converters will fail to process them. They are essentially locked binary containers.
Users typically want to convert .UXX files to extract the underlying media into standard formats, such as PNG or JPG for images, WAV or MP3 for audio, and OBJ for 3D models. This is difficult because only the game engine knows how to parse the internal package headers. However, just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your UXX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted UVX, UT2MOD and TCX files.
If you want to convert UXX file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use Unreal Engine or similar software from the "Game Asset Cache File" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to UXX, try Unreal Engine or another comparable tool in the "Game Asset Cache File" 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 UXX converter.
