About XPS to PDF

An XPS to PDF converter that draws the XPS pages itself: vector paths with solid and gradient fills, strokes and clips, image brushes, and text set with the embedded fonts by glyph, so Arabic, Hebrew and ligatures stay exactly as printed. OpenXPS (.oxps) from Windows 8 and later works too.

Frequently asked questions

What is an XPS file?+

XPS (XML Paper Specification) is Microsoft’s fixed-layout document format, like PDF. Windows makes XPS and OXPS files when you print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer.

How do I open an XPS file without Windows?+

Convert it here. The PDF opens on a Mac, a phone or in any browser, with no viewer to install.

Is the layout kept?+

Yes. Every page keeps its size, text with its own fonts, lines, shapes, colours, gradients and pictures, drawn at the same positions. Links to websites keep working.

Can I search and copy the text?+

Yes. The text is real text with the document’s fonts, not a picture, so you can select, copy and search it.

Are my files uploaded?+

No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your document never leaves your device.
