Convert WXD to another file type

To convert your WXD file to another format, you need Renishaw WiRE or other Data software.

Convert a file to WXD

To convert other file formats to the "Spectroscopy Data File" file type, you need software like Renishaw WiRE or a similar tool.


About WXD files

A .wxd file is primarily a legacy spectroscopy data file created by Renishaw WiRE (Windows-based Raman Environment) software, specifically versions 2.0 and older. These binary files contain high-resolution Raman spectra, storing intensity values against wavenumber shifts to identify chemical compositions in material science.

The main problem for researchers is that .wxd is a proprietary, closed format. It cannot be opened by standard data tools like Microsoft Excel or OriginLab Origin without first being exported. Furthermore, modern versions of WiRE use the newer WDF format, making legacy .wxd files difficult to access without maintaining outdated hardware or paid conversion plugins.

For data analysis and publication, the best workflow is converting .wxd to CSV or TXT, allowing import into Python, MATLAB, or spreadsheet software. For sharing non-interactive reports with colleagues who lack the software, converting to PDF or PNG is recommended. In rare cases, this extension refers to 'Wave eXchange Data' used in legacy audio or game middleware like Audiokinetic Wwise, where it stores music segment structures.

Convert.Guru analyzes your WXD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted WIP, TST and PTM files.

The WXD 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 WXD converter.
