02

Choose an output format

Pick from over a hundred output formats. Filter by category or search by name - every option is open to everyone, no account needed.

03

Convert & download

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.

What is an HTML file?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser, defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the WHATWG Living Standard. An HTML file consists of plain text tags that structure content into a Document Object Model (DOM), enabling the embedding of scripts (JavaScript), cascading style sheets (CSS), and multimedia. The format has evolved from SGML-based roots to the current HTML5 specification, which includes semantic elements and APIs for complex web applications.

How to open an HTML file

Operating systems universally support HTML rendering via pre-installed web browsers like Microsoft Edge (Windows), Safari (macOS), or Firefox (Linux). For source code modification, developers utilize specialized editors such as Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA, or Notepad++. No proprietary software is required, as the format is an open, non-proprietary standard text file.
