XPSView

Pristine, Secure, and Lightning-Fast XPS & OXPS Viewing and Conversion.

4.6

XPSView is the most complete solution for Apple users who need to open, read, and convert Microsoft XPS and OpenXPS files. Built natively for macOS, iPhone, and iPad, it renders documents with absolute precision — preserving vector graphics, fonts, text alignments, colours, and internal hyperlinks exactly as they appear on Windows. All processing runs entirely offline, keeping your documents completely private.

Key Features

Dual XPS & OXPS Compatibility

Opens both legacy XML Paper Specification (.xps) and modern OpenXPS (.oxps) files with full compliance to the OXPS standard — high-quality rendering of vector graphics, text, and embedded images.

Vector-Accurate PDF Conversion

Converts XPS/OXPS to fully vector-compliant PDF — preserving text, vector graphics, and raster images as editable PDF content. Bookmarks, internal hyperlinks, and metadata are all retained. Supports JPEG, JPEG2000, and Flate compression with quality control.

Multi-Format Image Conversion

Convert any XPS/OXPS document to JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, TIFF, Multi-Page TIFF, or BMP — with custom resolution and JPEG quality control for precise output size and fidelity.

Raster Image Extraction

Extract all embedded raster images from XPS/OXPS files directly into JPG, JP2, PNG, TIFF, or BMP — preserving the original resolution of each extracted image.

Plain Text Extraction

Convert XPS/OXPS documents into plain text in both UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoding — ideal for indexing, archiving, or repurposing document content in other applications.

Precision Zoom & Magnification

Inspect fine print, detailed layout elements, and vector graphics using Zoom In, Zoom Out, Zoom to Fit, and Actual Size controls — crisp on Retina displays.

Searchable & Selectable Text

Search for any word or phrase instantly across the entire document. Select and copy text to the clipboard, with fully working internal and external hyperlinks throughout.

Fluid Navigation & Reading Modes

Navigate with a Table of Contents, thumbnail sidebar, and search pane. Single, double, and continuous page views with Zoom In, Zoom Out, Actual Size, and Fit to Zoom controls. Maintains full reading history.

Bookmark Management & Collections

Add, manage, and group bookmarks by file or tag. A Bookshelf Collections view organises recently opened files for fast access, sortable by recent open, filename, or creation date.

Standalone & Fully Private

No Windows machine, XPS viewer, or virtual machine needed. All document rendering and conversion runs entirely on-device — your files are never uploaded to any server.

This app works great

If you need to read an XPS file or convert it to PDF this app works perfectly. Good share sheets allow you to open an XPS file from mail, from iCloud, from Dropbox, etc I originally bought this program to convert XPS files to PDF (which it does well) and then realized I didn’t really need to. It reads XPS files whenever I need to so no point converting and opening in a PDF reader. Highly recommend

Worked great for me!

I have to print some reports from a Windows Terminal Server and my only option is to print to XPS to my dropbox folder. I need to markup these reports in PDF. This app solved my problem perfectly. I have used it a few times so far and it has worked flawlessly for me. The conversions are quick and seem to be very good conversions.

Works great for me...

When dealing with documents from Windows, my only "print to disk" option is usually *.xps files. This app seems to open them just fine *and* lets me print them to an AirPrint-enabled printer. I am not sure what issues the other reviewers are having, but this works just fine as an "Open with..." target for xps documents attached to emails. The xps files that I am using are coming from Windows 7 - this app has opened them reliably for me. Mayb…

Works in 2018

It opens my .OXPS file, it looks the same as on the Windows computer. I used file > export > export to PDF. The PDF looks good. The document is a relatively simple order form; I have not tested with more complex images.

It worked

All I needed was the ability to open an oxps file and this fit the bill. Yeah, I paid $4.99 for the privilege but it worked. I doubt that I will need it in the future but like most specialty tools, if you don’t have it there isn’t a lot of substitutes that will work.

Needed to print XPS files from my Mac this did the trick

I had a few xps files sent to me that I needed to print. This app was one that was recommended; I downloaded it and within seconds had started printing. Very fast and simple - it did what I needed with no fuss or muss. Thanks!

Good application !!

GoodReader. It's used habitually because a XPS file can't be read in GoodReader. When the file name can be changed now, I think it becomes better. iPhone 6 Plus / iOS 8.1.1 Version 1.2 2015/01/10

Needed it for one file, it worked great!

I needed to view an XPS file on my Mac and decided to download this because of the promo offer. Worked great! Try it if you're in the market for an XPS viewer.

Stabil, gut, performant

Habe dieses Programm nur gekauft, weil MS Windows Standard-Drucker ein xps-Drucker ist. Das Programm funktioniert stabil, gut und schnell. Super, um dann Windows-Standard-Seitenausdrucke im xps-Format anzuschauen oder in ein pdf-Dokument zu konvertieren.
