What is a CHX file

CHX files mostly belong to Xactimate. CHX files serve two distinct purposes depending on their source application.
For Xactimate users, a CHX file is a zipped header image file. It packs image data using a ZIP structure that is embedded in project documents for property claims estimation and restoration. Details and context can be found on the Xactimate claims page.
For Granado Espada, CHX files store 3D character animation data. They contain data defining animation and model details for characters in a game environment.
Key points provided by FilExt.com include:
  • Xactimate Header Image: A compressed container holding a header image.
  • 3D Animation Data: Contains 3D models and animation sequences.
  • FilExt.com note: Opening these files depends on their use; a ZIP utility or Xactimate application is used for header images, while 3D content requires modeling or animation software.

    How to open CHX files

    You need a suitable software like Xactimate to open a CHX 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 CHX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CHX file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
