Extract text from wxMaxima worksheets (WXP)
To convert WXP worksheets to another format, you need wxMaxima or other Text software.
To convert other file formats to the "Scientific Document" file type, you need software like wxMaxima or a similar tool.
The .WXP file extension often leaves users stranded between two very different academic worlds: advanced computer algebra and scientific word processing. Most commonly, this file is a worksheet created by wxMaxima, a document-based interface for the Maxima computer algebra system. These files store live calculations, mathematical notation, and plots. The friction arises when you try to share this work; a .WXP file is useless to anyone without wxMaxima installed, and it cannot be opened by standard text editors or browsers. To share your calculations, you must convert the worksheet to a static PDF for printing or HTML for web viewing.
Alternatively, you might possess a .WXP file generated by Scientific WorkPlace (or related MacKichan software). In this context, the file serves as a scientific word processing document designed for typesetting complex mathematical formulas. These proprietary formats are notorious for locking valuable academic data behind paid or discontinued software interfaces. The ideal workflow for preservation is converting these documents into standard LaTeX (.TEX) or PDF/A formats to ensure long-term accessibility. Less frequently, .WXP files appear as project files for the legacy video editor Wax, containing edit decision lists rather than actual video data. Regardless of the source, convert.guru helps you inspect the file structure and determine the correct conversion path without the headache of hunting for legacy installers.

If you want to convert WXP file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use wxMaxima or similar software from the "Math Worksheet / Scientific Doc" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to WXP, try wxMaxima or another comparable tool in the "Math Worksheet / Scientific Doc" 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 WXP converter.
