These XPS and OXPS file extensions are document file formats. Like PDFs, .oxps and .xps files are used to publish, share, and distribute fixed-layout documents. As an alternative to PDFs, the OXPS file format stores text and multimedia data, formatting specifications, and printing layout attributes.
