What is an XPS file?
XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a fixed-layout document format developed by Microsoft and later standardized as ECMA-388 (Open XML Paper Specification). It serves as a page description language similar to PDF, utilizing a ZIP-based container to hold XML markup (XAML) for layout, embedded fonts, and vector graphics. The format ensures document fidelity across different printers and displays by defining the precise position of every element on the page.
How to open an XPS file
Windows operating systems (Vista through 10) include a native 'XPS Viewer' application. On Windows 11, this feature is optional and may require manual activation via 'Optional Features'. Non-Windows users must rely on third-party tools like MuPDF or online conversion services to view or convert the content to PDF.
