EFX files are game-resource files for Quake 3 Arena, developed by id Software. They contain definitions for effects used by the game's engine.
An EFX file belongs with the other assets of the game or a Quake 3 Arena modification. Such assets may be stored inside a PK3 archive, and the game or modification loads the effect file when its content refers to it.
Quake 3 Arena was released for Microsoft Windows, and the EFX format is a legacy format tied to that game and its modifications rather than a general-purpose interchange format.
Use Quake 3 Arena on Microsoft Windows to load an EFX file as game content. Place it in the correct game or modification directory, or extract it from its PK3 archive if necessary; the game must have content that references the effect.
Because EFX files are game resources rather than user documents, they do not normally open as standalone documents.
EFX files do not have a useful general conversion format. They are definitions specific to Quake 3 Arena and are normally used as supplied.
There is no standard export process that converts an EFX file into a common media or document format.
