INX is a file that contains the code for the universal XML markup. It can be opened by any text editor. INX files are used by Adobe InDesign.

This is information about the file structure: e.g. the number of pages, their layout and content.
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "INDD") to another (referred to as "INX"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, INDD file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format INDD to format INX becomes essential.
So, how can we perform INDD to INX file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format INDD and transforming it into format INX. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of INDD to INX converters.
