What is an XSF file?

XSF files mostly belong to XSF Manager. XSF files are not created by one single standard. They are used by different systems to hold diverse kinds of data.
In some cases the file is an XML Shareable Format file. This type is a compressed XML file (often using GZIP) used for configuration data such as Lync Server settings managed by XSF Manager or Microsoft InfoPath.
In other instances the file is a Xion Skin File. Here the file holds skin or theme data for applications like Virtual DJ. It can also be seen used as a legacy audio format from Playstation systems.

Another use is as a X3D Scene File or a Character Studio skeletal format. Such files store 3D scene or skeletal data for animation and modeling and are used by platforms such as IMVU and XSI Softimage.

FilExt.com tip: If you own an XSF file, check the source or the program that created it. Sometimes the file can be viewed in a text editor if it is in XML, but often you need the specific application to properly open or modify its contents.

XSF format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. In the following you will find our evaluation of the XSF files:

Such XSF files store data about microsoft, windows, local, unix, entsvcs, resrc, osdotools, celesiogroup, rolls and ryce.
15% of all XSF files start with the bytes CSF, which are crucial for this file format. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The average file size is 3 KB with most files being between 200 bytes and 45 KB in size. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as Root. Such files sometimes refer to root.
