Open XCS files in your browser
The project xTool's app saves a laser job in: each canvas's shapes and how each is cut, scored or engraved. Open one right here and see what it will make. Nothing leaves your device.
Or drop it anywhere on this page
What you'll see
Your job opens as the laser will run it, each layer in its color on a white ground, with its layers and their settings in the panel beside it.
- Every cut, line and fill in its layer's color
- Layers • Speed, power and passes • Hide one or show it alone
- Measure in millimeters • Its size, origin and material
- Export • DXF, SVG, PDF at real size and PNG
About XCS
xTool's lasers, like the D1, F1, P2 and S1, run from xTool Creative Space, which became xTool Studio. It saves a project as an XCS: JSON with each canvas's shapes, their colors and the work each gets (cut, score, fill engrave or bitmap engrave) at its power, speed and passes, with the machine and material it's for.
Only xTool's own app opens one, and nothing built into Windows, macOS or phones shows a project's shapes.
Filepeek draws each canvas in your browser on a white ground, each layer in its color and the pictures where they'll be engraved, at its real size in millimeters. The panel lists the layers with the work they get and their power, speed and passes, and the canvases are in the list beside it. Measure between two points, see the machine and material in Show details, and export it as DXF for another laser app, SVG, PDF at its real size or PNG.

Questions
Can I use an XCS file in LightBurn?
Not as it is. Save it as DXF here, which keeps a layer for each color, and import that into LightBurn or any laser app.
Why is a shape missing?
A shape hidden in xTool's app isn't drawn, and Show details counts it. A shape set to be skipped is drawn, and its layer says Not run.
Why does a layer show no power or speed?
xTool keeps settings for each shape, not each layer. When a layer's shapes share theirs the panel shows them, and when they don't it lists the kinds of work the layer does.
