Extract text from X-Pose Picker templates (XPIX)
To convert XPIX templates to another format, you need X-Pose Picker or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Animation Control Layout" file type, you need software like X-Pose Picker or a similar tool.
The .xpix file is a specialized configuration package used by X-Pose Picker, a production-grade tool for Autodesk Maya and Blender. These files serve as "control surfaces" for animators, containing visual layouts of character rigs (buttons, sliders, and selection maps) that allow for precise bone manipulation without touching the 3D viewport. Internally, an .xpix file is simply a renamed ZIP archive. It typically contains a layout.json file defining the interface coordinates and logic, alongside a folder of SVG or PNG images used for the buttons.
Users often struggle with these files because they appear as proprietary binary blobs that cannot be opened by standard image viewers or text editors. Without the paid X-Pose Picker add-on installed, the file is useless in its native state. However, because it is a ZIP container, you can manually convert it to a standard folder to inspect or salvage the data. For archiving or documentation, the best approach is to extract the internal images or take screenshots of the active picker in the host software.

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 XPIX converter.
