About BIQ files
BIQ files are specialized file types used primarily by the BioDiversity Information Quality (BIQ) software. They store data related to biodiversity and environmental studies, making them essential for researchers in these fields. Despite their utility, BIQ files have some drawbacks. They are not widely supported by most general-purpose software, making conversion challenging.
To convert a BIQ file, one must often rely on specific software capable of handling BIQ's unique data structure. One such tool is ArcGIS, which supports BIQ file import and can convert them to formats like CSV, Excel, or Shapefile. Another option is QGIS, a free, open-source geographic information system that allows BIQ file conversion to various formats, including KML and GeoJSON.
Important considerations when converting BIQ files include maintaining data integrity and ensuring that the target format supports the necessary data elements. Challenges include potential data loss or corruption if the conversion process is not handled carefully. Moreover, not all software can preserve the hierarchical data structure of BIQ files, which can be a critical drawback for detailed studies.
Given these complexities, using a dedicated conversion platform like Convert.Guru offers a simpler, more reliable solution. Convert.Guru ensures accurate conversion with minimal effort.

The BIQ Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best BIQ converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
