Extract text from Tomb Raider WAD index files (WIX)
To convert WIX WAD index files to another format, you need Game Extractor or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Texture Index File" file type, you need software like Game Extractor or a similar tool.
A .wix file is technically defined as a Tomb Raider WAD Index, a legacy game file generated by Crystal Dynamics and Core Design engines. These files serve as the catalog or "map" for the accompanying WAD (Where's All the Data) archives, specifically indexing the location and parameters of textures and level data.
Users typically encounter this file when attempting to mod classic Tomb Raider games or extract assets for archival purposes. A common issue is that a .wix file is useless on its own; it is a binary dependency that must be paired with its specific WAD counterpart. Furthermore, standard operating systems and image editors like Adobe Photoshop cannot natively open or render this format. To make use of the content, you typically need to convert (extract) the indexed textures into standard formats like PNG or JPG for editing, or keep them as-is for use in custom level editors like Tomb Editor.

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 WIX converter.
