About WRX files
The .wrx file is a proprietary binary property file created by Microsoft Visual Basic. It functions as a companion file to a primary source code document, specifically designed to store non-text assets such as embedded images, icons, and compiled user interface properties for a UserControl. Because this format is based on the legacy Microsoft Compound File Binary Format (CFBF), it acts as a black box that locks away your graphic assets. You cannot open a .wrx file in a standard web browser, and attempting to read it in a text editor will only show corrupted, unreadable characters. To properly access the internal data, you normally need an installed, older version of Microsoft Visual Basic, which is highly inconvenient for modern workflows. Users typically want to convert or extract the contents of a .wrx file to recover lost assets, targeting standard formats like JPG, PNG, or ICO for images, and sometimes TXT for embedded string data. Because this file format is difficult to open and highly proprietary, standard online converters completely fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or extraction of the graphical assets may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WRX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert WRX file to RWD or STI, you can use Microsoft Visual Basic or similar software from the "Binary Property Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

The WRX Converter Story
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 WRX converter.
