What is a .QXD file?
QXD is a QuarkXPress layout, the desktop-publishing standard of the 1990s.
- Did you know
- QuarkXPress laid out most of the magazines and newspapers of the 1990s.
- QXD is the native document of QuarkXPress, the desktop-publishing program made by Quark, and was superseded by the QXP format in version 6.
- QXD files are the work format only of QuarkXPress 5 and earlier, holding a page layout’s text, images and positioning together.
- What Analyser reads
- Open documents, ebooks and publishing files beyond Office: comic books (CBZ/CBT with ComicInfo + first-page preview; CBR/CB7 identified), Microsoft XPS, FictionBook FB3, iBooks, Scrivener, Visio VSDX, R Markdown/Quarto, RTFD, WARC/MAFF web archives, TeX DVI, legacy Hangul HWP, and WordPerfect/QuarkXPress/PageMaker identification.
- Depth of analysis
- .QXD is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .QXD file
- Drag a .QXD file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
