What is SXI file?
SXI is a file format used by the StarOffice Impress presentation software. It is used to save presentations in a portable format with all the images, text, graphics and other elements embedded into the file itself. SXI files can also be opened with other presentation programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote and OpenOffice Impress. [ ⏩ ] SXI file extension

The .DIF (Data Interchange Format) file extension is a text-based file used for transferring data between different programs and databases. DIF files can be encoded in either ASCII or Unicode formats and they can also contain formatting options, certain software specific commands, and codes for various punctuation.

How to convert the file from SXI to DIF?
To successfully convert the SXI file to DIF, 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.SXI). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DIF (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 DIF).
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. SXI to DIF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting SXI files to DIF 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 DIF, while before this step we had the SXI file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DIF file, or not.
