Extract text from JQuiz files (JQZ)
To convert JQZ quizzes to another format, you need Hot Potatoes or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Educational Quiz File" file type, you need software like Hot Potatoes or a similar tool.
The .JQZ file extension is exclusively used by Hot Potatoes, a popular, albeit older, educational software suite. Specifically, it belongs to the JQuiz module, which allows teachers and instructors to build interactive multiple-choice, short-answer, and hybrid quizzes.
The primary application used to create and edit these files is Hot Potatoes, originally developed by Half-Baked Software and the University of Victoria. While popular in the 2000s, offline quiz builders have mostly been replaced by modern web-based Learning Management Systems (LMS).
A major disadvantage of the .JQZ format is its proprietary, closed-loop nature. If a student or a colleague does not have the Hot Potatoes application installed on their desktop, they cannot natively open the file. Furthermore, the raw .JQZ file is completely useless on modern mobile devices and cannot be natively displayed in a web browser.
To make the quiz usable, you must use the native software to compile and export the .JQZ file into a functional HTML web page. If you simply need to extract your written questions and answers to migrate to a new system, converting the file to XML or TXT is highly recommended, though you will permanently lose the interactive quiz logic.
Because .JQZ is a highly specific, niche educational format, standard online document converters consistently fail to process it. Often, only the original Hot Potatoes software can properly read or export the quiz data to a web-ready state. Because our analysis detects the supported underlying XML structure, viewing or conversion to raw text may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your JQZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted JBC and QUI files.
If you want to convert JQZ file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Hot Potatoes or similar software from the "Interactive Quiz Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

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 JQZ converter.
