Convert XAR files online for free

The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Vector Image formats to XAR with high quality output.
A .xar file primarily represents a vector graphic created by Xara Designer Pro. These files store high-performance vector illustrations, layouts, and bitmap compositions using Xara's proprietary rendering engine. While excellent for editing within the MAGIX ecosystem, .xar files pose significant compatibility challenges for sharing and collaboration. They are not natively supported by web browsers, mobile operating systems, or standard image viewers like Adobe Photoshop. To share these designs with clients or use them on the web, you generally need to convert them to PDF (for printing), SVG (for scalable web graphics), or JPG/PNG (for raster previews).
However, the .xar extension is polysemic. It also frequently denotes the Extensible Archive format, an open-source compression standard used in Unix/Linux environments and by Apple for software packaging (often found inside pkg installers). Additionally, XWiki uses .xar for exporting wiki pages (essentially a ZIP container holding XML data). If your file is an archive, standard extraction utilities may fail without the specific codec, making conversion to a universal archive format like ZIP or TAR necessary for easy access.

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 XAR converter.
