ArcGIS geodatabase SPX data

File type category:
GIS, GPS navigation and map file

Date updated: October 16, 2026

The spx file extension is used by ArcGIS, Esri's geographic information system for creating, managing, and analyzing maps and geographic information. ArcGIS is available for Microsoft Windows.

An spx file stores spatial index information for feature data in an ArcGIS file geodatabase. The index helps ArcGIS locate geographic features efficiently during map display and spatial searches.

The file belongs to the file geodatabase's collection of supporting files and works together with the geodatabase's feature and attribute data. It should be kept in its original geodatabase folder and should not be renamed, moved, or edited separately.

How to open spx file?

Open the containing file geodatabase in ArcGIS on Microsoft Windows. ArcGIS manages the spx file automatically when the geodatabase is used.

The spx file is an internal index rather than a standalone map or data document, so it cannot normally be opened directly in a text editor or other general-purpose application.

How to convert spx file?

An spx file is not normally converted by itself. To convert or share the geographic data, open the containing file geodatabase in ArcGIS and export the relevant feature class or geodatabase to a supported GIS format.

ArcGIS creates and maintains the necessary index files in the destination geodatabase. Do not delete or convert the spx file separately.
