What is OXPS file?
The OXPS file extension stands for Open XML Paper Specification, a page-based document format developed by Microsoft. OXPS documents can be created from any application using the XPS printer driver. OXPS is a proprietary format supported by the Windows 8 operating system and higher versions. It was introduced to replace the XPS format included in Windows Vista and earlier. Contrary to the XPS format, the OXPS format is based on the OpenOffice XML standard. [ ⏩ ] OXPS file extension
What is RAR file?
The RAR (RAR) file extension is used to indicate a special type of compressed and archived file used by many different software programs, most notably WinRAR. This highly-compressed data format is used for archival purposes while minimizing the total file size. Compression and Extraction RAR archives allow users to compress many files into a single container file, reducing the overall file size and increasing security for private or confidential data.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from OXPS to RAR?
To successfully convert the OXPS file to RAR, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.OXPS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case RAR (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than RAR).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. OXPS to RAR. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting OXPS files to RAR files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension RAR, while before this step we had the OXPS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new RAR file, or not.
