Convert XPS to XHTML (GUI + Command Line)

While there are some programs that allow viewing XPS files, there is no way for converting XPS files to other file types by standard tools. Total PDF Converter helps to convert XPS into xHTML, HTML, PDF, DOC, TXT, TIFF and a lot of other formats with ease and comfort for user. This compact but highly functional tool will turn your XPS files into web-pages, texts, images or data tables in seconds, creating nice-looking, fully readable copies of original documents.

Quick answer: To convert XPS to xHTML, launch Total PDF Converter, open the folder with your XPS files and select them, choose xHTML as the output, set the location and content type (text only, images only, or each page as a separate xHTML), then start the conversion. The whole folder converts offline in one batch, with no upload needed.

In case of converting to xHTML, you are given with a few variants of how to convert XPS files:

• You can convert every XPS file into a separate xHTML file
• You can convert only images or only texts from sources into xHTML
• You can convert every page of every XPS original into a separate xHTML page

For your ease Total PDF Converter supports batch conversion - processing more than one file at once. It helps to spend less time on the conversion routine. You group all your documents together, saving them in one folder, specify them all as sources, and the program will convert XPS to xHTML in batch without need to repeat the same action again and again for each file.

Not many settings are available in the xHTML mode. You can set location for xHTML copies, choose type of the content that will be rendered to xHTML, and use the option for converting each XPS page to a separate xHTML. If you decide to convert files to images or texts, there will be more settings available.

Total PDF Converter can be run from the command line, similar to standard Windows applications. To set XPS xHTML converter in this mode, use the command of this format:

PDFConverter.exe D:\Originals\*.xps D:\Converted -c xHTML

This command will convert all the XPS files from "Originals" folder to xHTML and save copies to the "Converted" folder.

Total PDF Converter Customer Reviews 2026

"Our engineering specs were archived as XPS and needed to become valid XHTML for a documentation portal with strict markup requirements. Total PDF Converter's batch mode processed the whole spec library in one run, and the output validated cleanly without any manual tag corrections."

Beatrix Sundgren Technical Documentation Lead, Sundgren Aerospace

"Digitizing an XPS archive of local history documents into XHTML for our online reading room used to mean manual reformatting of every page. Selecting the whole folder and choosing xHTML as the output converted everything in one batch, and readable structure was preserved for our accessibility requirements."

Julius Ekwueme Library Digitization Specialist, Ekwueme Public Library

"A client's old product manuals existed only as XPS files and needed strict XHTML for a legacy CMS that rejected loose HTML. Total PDF Converter handled the batch conversion command-line, and the text content options gave me enough control to skip images I didn't need for that particular site."
