What is an ETX file?

ETX files mostly belong to BarTender. ETX files can be one of several specialized data formats, each built for a distinct application.
  • Label Printer Files: These files use a zlib compression scheme to embed print design instructions. They are part of a BarTender label format and are created for label printing systems.
  • Bosch Navigation Files: In this use case the ETX file holds text-based mapping information for Bosch Navigation Systems. The file stores navigation details used by specific routing software. More details are available on the Bosch website.
  • Embroidery Files: This variant is an XML-based file that contains embroidery design data. It is used by software such as ElanView and is sometimes referred to as an E-Sword Text Module file, with associations to E-Studio. Additional insights can be found on the Perrigo website.
  • How can I open an ETX file?

    You need a suitable software like BarTender to open an ETX file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your ETX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ETX file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
