What is a XXX file?
Files with the .XXX extension contain stich patterns – including its color, letters, project templates, density, and size, saved in a format unique to sewing and embroidery machines manufactured by Compucon.
The files are created in Compucon’s Embroidery Operating System, or EOS for short, which is used for designing embroidery and patterns for Compucon machines. Files in this format can be loaded directly onto the sewing machine, as well as converted into file types used by the machines of other manufacturers. The XXX extension is sometimes also used as a replacement for files with an unknown extension.

How to open XXX files
If you cannot open the XXX file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports XXX among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the XXX file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the XXX format files
The inability to open and operate the XXX file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Compucon/Singer PSW Embroidery Design Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a XXX file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the XXX file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the XXX from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the XXX format
- The XXX file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the XXX file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a XXX file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the XXX file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the XXX file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the XXX file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.XXX) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected XXX file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the XXX file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. XXX) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
