Convert DirectX 3D models (X) online for free
The converter easily converts your X 3D models to various formats - free and online. No Microsoft DirectX or other 3D software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "DirectX 3D Model File" formats to X without using software like Microsoft DirectX or a similar tool.
The .X file extension is primarily a legacy 3D model format developed for Microsoft DirectX. It was historically used in PC game development to store 3D mesh data, material properties, texture references, and skeletal animations.
While it was a standard for early 3D game engines, it is now entirely obsolete. Microsoft deprecated the format over a decade ago. Opening a .X file today is a frustrating experience. Modern 3D software like Blender or Autodesk Maya dropped native support years ago, meaning you have to hunt down outdated, unmaintained community plugins just to view your 3D assets. Furthermore, the format does not support modern physically based rendering (PBR) materials and cannot be imported directly into modern game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine.
You must convert .X files to integrate them into any modern 3D workflow. For animation editing or game development, convert .X to FBX. If you only need a simple static mesh, convert to OBJ. For web-based 3D viewers and modern cross-platform rendering, convert to GLTF or GLB.
Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software. convert.guru will parse the legacy DirectX data and instantly output a modern, usable format.
*(Note: In rare edge cases, a .X file might be a Linux ELF executable, game data for older titles like Star Wars: Battlefront II, or a misnamed/truncated XLSX Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.)*
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your X file.
Users also converted B3D, XX, XOF, CPS, FPE, OBJ, RAR, X_T, XLSX, 3DS, HTML, PDF and DDS files.
If you want to convert X file to DVD, MP4, MP3, HD, VIDEO, DAE, MAX, BLEND or MA, you can use Microsoft DirectX or similar software from the "Legacy 3D Game Assets" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP or 3DM files to X, try Microsoft DirectX or another comparable tool in the "Legacy 3D Game Assets" 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 X converter.
