About XSOSD files

The .XSOSD format stores On-Screen Display (OSD) skin configurations for ProgDVB, a popular Windows program used to watch digital TV and listen to radio channels. These files dictate how menus, channel numbers, video parameters, and timers appear over the video feed. Because .XSOSD is a proprietary configuration format, it presents significant limitations outside of its native ecosystem. You cannot natively view it in web browsers or standard image editors, and users often struggle to extract the raw background graphics or icons trapped inside. If you need to access the data, the best conversion targets depend on the file's actual contents. Since many of these files are simply XML-based, converting them to XML or TXT reveals the text and coordinate data. If the file acts as an archive, extracting it to a ZIP could yield the original PNG or BMP image assets. Standard online converters fail with .XSOSD files because they expect standard media or document formats, not highly specific UI configurations. Often, only the original Prog SkinEditor can properly read or export the interface data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying XML structure or embedded archive, viewing or extraction may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your XSOSD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
