Extract text from XRF files
To convert your XRF file to another format, you need IMVU or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Material Definition" file type, you need software like IMVU or a similar tool.
The .XRF file extension primarily represents an XML Reference File, specifically serving as a material definition for IMVU products and the Cal3D character animation engine. Unlike standard image files, an .XRF file does not contain pixel data itself; instead, it is a text-based XML document that acts as a set of instructions. It tells the 3D engine which JPG or PNG texture files to apply to a specific mesh (XMF) and defines properties like opacity, ambient color, and diffuse mapping.
A common issue for creators is attempting to open .XRF files in image editors like Adobe Photoshop, which results in errors. To 'convert' or modify these files, users typically need to edit the underlying text XML code to update texture paths, or use specific import plugins to bring the material data into 3D suites like Blender.
*Note: In rare industrial contexts (approx. 1%), .XRF may refer to X-Ray Fluorescence data from handheld analyzers (e.g., Olympus/Evident), which requires proprietary scientific software to view.*
Convert.Guru analyzes your XRF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CHKN, ASTERI - HEAD - DIFFUSE, COMPRESSED, XCF, ASTERI - MASK - ALPHA, 001-DIFFUSECOLOR, TGA, PNG, XMF, HO, RTF, JPG and ZIP files.
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 XRF converter.
