Extract text from GoToMyPC QuickLink files (JQX)
To convert JQX QuickLinks to another format, you need GoToMyPC or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Remote Access Status File" file type, you need software like GoToMyPC or a similar tool.
The .JQX file extension is exclusively used as a remote access connection status file by GoToMyPC, a remote desktop software suite operated by GoTo. Also known as QuickLink host status files, these files temporarily store network routing logic, availability flags, and connection states for remote host computers.
The greatest disadvantage of the .JQX format is its entirely proprietary, locked-down nature. It requires a paid, active subscription to the GoToMyPC ecosystem to hold any practical value. Furthermore, these files do not contain user-readable media, chat logs, or transferred files. They are background utility files that are completely unsupported by web browsers, standard word processors, or operating system tools.
Because this format is highly specialized, typical users often mistakenly try to convert it to formats like PDF or DOCX, assuming the file holds a log of their remote session. This is why standard online converters fail to process it; the original software is the only tool capable of utilizing the connection data.
Despite these strict limitations, you can still inspect the contents for troubleshooting. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible on convert.guru. If our system detects embedded plain text configuration strings, we can extract that data into a standard TXT file for simple text inspection.
Convert.Guru analyzes your JQX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ANN, DAT and TXT files.
If you want to convert JQX file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use GoToMyPC or similar software from the "Remote Connection Status Tracking" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to JQX, try GoToMyPC or another comparable tool in the "Remote Connection Status Tracking" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our JQX converter.
