Extract text from QB files
To convert your QB file to another format, you need Qubicle or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Voxel Model File" file type, you need software like Qubicle or a similar tool.
The .QB file extension represents a diverse set of data formats, primarily serving as either Qubicle Binary files or ExamView Question Banks.
1. Qubicle Voxel Models: Created by Minddesk Qubicle, this format stores 3D voxel data used to create retro-style art for games like Crossy Road. While efficient for voxel editing, .QB files are proprietary and natively incompatible with standard 3D modeling tools like Blender or game engines like Unity. To use these assets in a production pipeline, creators must convert them to polygon-based formats like OBJ, FBX, or DAE (Collada). Direct use limits you to the Qubicle environment, preventing advanced texturing or animation.
2. ExamView Question Banks: Used by Echo360 ExamView, these files contain test questions and answer keys. The friction here is accessibility; the content is locked inside legacy software. Teachers and administrators often need to convert these banks to RTF, PDF, or DOCX to print tests, edit text in Microsoft Word, or import them into modern Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Canvas or Blackboard via QTI XML export.
3. Game Scripts: In the modding community, .QB refers to compiled scripting files used in the Neversoft engine (e.g., Tony Hawk's Pro Skater). These are binary files that require specialized decompilers to become readable text.
Convert.Guru analyzes your QB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted !QB, QBX, QBO, LUA, XLSX, QBB, TXT, ZIP, FMF, CMBL, ESX and OX files.
If you want to convert QB file to QBO, ESX, QBX, OX, XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, ODS, CSV, TSV or TAB, you can use Qubicle or similar software from the "Voxel Model or Question Bank" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert WQ1, XLSM, NOTES, QPW, WK3, WB2, WKS, XLSB, 123, XLS, WB1 or XLSX files to QB, try Qubicle or another comparable tool in the "Voxel Model or Question Bank" 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 QB converter.
