OXPS is OpenXPS, the standardised version of Microsoft's XPS format that Windows 8 and later produce when you print to a file. Add your .oxps documents here and they are converted to PDF in your browser: the package is opened, each fixed page is read, and its paths, images and positioned text are redrawn as PDF at the same coordinates.
Convert OXPS (OpenXPS) documents to PDF. OpenXPS is the standardised form of XPS that Windows 8 and later produce when printing to a file, and it differs from the older format only in its namespaces, relationship types and part naming — so this converter reads the same fixed-page markup and produces the same faithful page geometry. Paths, clipping, transforms, opacity, PNG and JPEG images and positioned glyph runs are all translated; embedded fonts are replaced with the standard PDF fonts and each conversion reports what changed.

Because it predates the format. Microsoft submitted XPS for standardisation, and the result — published as an Ecma standard and then an ISO one — changed the namespaces, the relationship types and some part naming inside the package. Windows 8 switched the XPS Document Writer over to producing that newer OpenXPS form by default. The viewer that shipped with Windows 7 only understands the original layout, so it sees an OXPS file as malformed. That single change is why so many people meet this format only when something fails to open.
Not for reading it. Both are ZIP packages holding XML parts, both describe pages as a list of canvases, vector paths and glyph runs at absolute coordinates, and both use the same drawing vocabulary and the same 96-units-per-inch coordinate space. The differences are in the identifiers that label the parts. PDFBase reads both through one engine and only reports which one it found, so the conversion you get from an OXPS file is the same conversion you would get from the XPS equivalent.
The typefaces, mainly. Embedded fonts are replaced with the standard PDF fonts, and although each run of text is scaled to the width the package declares so nothing shifts out of place, letterforms differ and a document that depended on a particular face for its look will not match. Check any page carrying a gradient too, since gradients are flattened to a single averaged colour. The per-file report lists both, and each finished conversion shows its page count and a thumbnail of the first page so you can see the result before downloading.
No, and nothing about the file leaves this tab — not the document, not its filename, not a checksum. The package is unzipped in memory by this page and the PDF is assembled there. OXPS files are usually generated by printing something to a file, so they tend to hold whatever was on screen at the time: payslips, tickets, medical letters, tax forms.
