STEP is openable by virtually every CAD system, unlike kernel-specific Parasolid.

Convert Parasolid (.x_t / .x_b) into STEP (.step / .stp), the universal neutral format that any CAD system can open. Done online in WO3D — no install required.
STEP is openable by virtually every CAD system, unlike kernel-specific Parasolid.
Parasolid solids convert cleanly into STEP B-rep geometry.
No CAD software needed — upload Parasolid in the browser and get STEP out.
When you receive a Parasolid X_T / X_B file but need to share with partners on different CAD systems, convert to STEP.
STEP is the safer choice for broad distribution and long-term archiving.
Both the text (X_T) and binary (X_B) Parasolid variants carry the same solid geometry.
Either converts to clean STEP solids.
If the recipient uses NX, SolidWorks or Solid Edge, native Parasolid may import even more cleanly.
Use STEP when the target CAD system is unknown or varied.
