Our free and fast tool will convert your 3D X (Direct X File) model files to a standard DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple X files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your X file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a DXF file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the X to DXF conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

The X 3D file format extension was introduced by Microsoft with the launch of Version 2 of their 3D graphics API, Direct X, back in 2002. The format has evolved over the years; however, in 2014, the X file format was deprecated in favor of newer, more capable formats such as FBX.
The format is a simple text-based file capable of storing 3D mesh information such as vertices, faces, normals, and material information. In addition to basic 3D information, the format can also store animations with the X file format, which is primarily used in the development of games.
If your DXF file contains textures, these will be ignored. If a material contains color information, this will be translated where possible.

The DXF file format was first introduced in 1982 as part of Autodesk's AutoCAD software. DXF files were intended at the time to allow data interchange between AutoCAD and other CAD-related applications. The format has evolved over the years, with the most recent version coming in 2007.
DXF files can contain either text or binary content describing blocks, entities, objects, and other information using a "tagging" system. The DXF format is still popular today and can be opened with most popular CAD applications.
Many 3D file conversion websites use the same off-the-shelf components to convert files, these often lack features and full X file compatibility. Our bespoke file conversion tools offer full X file compatibility and have been developed in-house by a team of developers, some of whom have over 30 years of experience working with 3D graphics file formats, meaning our tools will convert your X file quickly and accurately with maximum compatibility.
First click the "Upload..." button, and select your X file to upload. You can also drag and drop your file onto the tool. Once your file is selected, you can set any configuration options. When the X to DXF conversion has completed, you can download your DXF file straight away.
We aim to process all X to DXF conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the X file you submit to us. The resulting DXF file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.
No. All our conversion tools process your X file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted DXF file quickly.
Yes! Our X to DXF tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our X conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your X to DXF, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
