Extract text from XFC files
To convert your XFC file to another format, you need Exact Globe or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Audit Interchange File" file type, you need software like Exact Globe or a similar tool.
The .xfc extension is a classic example of a "collision" format - a single extension used by completely different industries for unrelated purposes.
In the accounting world, .xfc stands for eXtensible Financial Container. It is an XML-based interchange format used by software like Exact Globe and Unit4 to export financial ledgers for auditing. The problem users face is that while the file contains valuable data (transactions, balance sheets), it is structured for software-to-software import, not human reading. Users typically need to convert this .XFC file to XLSX (Excel) or CSV to actually analyze the numbers. Because the underlying structure is often XML, you can sometimes trick Excel into opening it, but a dedicated converter is usually required for clean formatting.
In industrial automation, an .xfc file is a proprietary configuration or historian archive generated by the Emerson DeltaV distributed control system (DCS). These files store critical process data, logic charts, or system history. Unlike the financial variant, these are binary and heavily locked down. Engineers often find themselves with an .xfc file they need to share with a manager or auditor who doesn't have the DeltaV software installed. The goal here is usually converting the configuration view to PDF for documentation or archiving.
A significant number of users searching for this file actually have a XCF file (created by GIMP) and have transposed the letters. If your file is an image, you are likely looking for a GIMP converter, not an XFC converter.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XFC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted XCF, TOC, GPX and JFM files.
If you want to convert XFC file to INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11, OMP or P65, you can use Exact Globe or similar software from the "Financial Audit Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to XFC, try Exact Globe or another comparable tool in the "Financial Audit Data Storage" 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 XFC converter.
