AZW3 to OXPS conversion is the process of transforming an Amazon Kindle AZW3 ebook file into an Open XML Paper Specification (OXPS) document. This conversion extracts the ebook's fixed-layout pages, text, and images from the Kindle-specific AZW3 package and repackages them into an OXPS page-description format suitable for printing, viewing in Windows XPS viewers, or archival use.
