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 "Cache File" file type, you need software like Unreal_Engine or a similar tool.
A .UXX file is primarily a cached game asset generated by titles running on the Unreal Engine, most notably Unreal Tournament (2003/2004). These files represent standard game assets - such as maps (UNR), textures (UTX), sounds (UAX), or static meshes (USX) - that have been downloaded from a server during multiplayer gameplay and stored locally with a temporary, obfuscated filename.
The main drawback for users is that .UXX files are unusable in their raw state; the game engine renames them to avoid overwriting local files, stripping the original extension and identifying the file only via a cache.ini index. Users typically encounter these files when trying to recover a custom map or mod downloaded from a server. Because they are essentially renamed proprietary archives, you cannot open them with standard media players or editors like Photoshop. To use them, they must be identified and "converted" (restored) to their original format. For archiving or extraction, converting the underlying asset to open formats like OBJ (for models) or WAV (for audio) requires specialized extraction utilities.
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 "Unreal Engine 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 "Unreal Engine 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.
