Convert a file to JQZ

About JQZ files

A .jqz file is a proprietary project file created by the JQuiz module of the Hot Potatoes suite. It contains quiz data - including multiple-choice, short-answer, hybrid, and multi-select questions - stored in an XML structure.

The Problem: Users often receive a .jqz file expecting to "take" the quiz, only to find it cannot be opened by web browsers like Chrome or Edge, nor by standard office apps. The .jqz format is the source code for the quiz, not the playable web page. To use it as intended, it must be compiled into HTML using the legacy Hot Potatoes software (which requires Java) or imported into a Learning Management System (LMS) like Moodle.

The Solution:

Convert.Guru analyzes your JQZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted JBC and QUI files.
