Extract text from QCC files
To convert your QCC file to another format, you need ActiveCaptain or other GIS software.
To convert other file formats to the "Sonar Map Data" file type, you need software like ActiveCaptain or a similar tool.
The .QCC file extension represents a convergence of three distinct industries, though it is most frequently encountered by outdoor enthusiasts as a Garmin Quickdraw Contours map file. Generated by Garmin marine devices (such as the EchoMap and GPSMAP series), these files store user-generated bathymetric data - high-definition underwater contour maps created in real-time. The main issue for users is that .QCC files are proprietary binary containers designed solely for the Garmin ecosystem (specifically the ActiveCaptain app or the device itself). Users often wish to view their recorded sonar logs on a PC, analyze fishing spots in Google Earth, or process the depth data in GIS software like QGIS. Since these files cannot be opened directly by standard desktop software, they typically require conversion to GPX, KML, or SHP formats to unlock the data for broader use.
In the manufacturing sector, .QCC refers to a Quality Control Characteristic file used by Q-DAS software (part of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence). These files define statistical process control (SPC) parameters and charts. Engineers often struggle with the proprietary nature of Q-DAS formats when sharing data with clients who lack a license; converting these definitions to CSV or XLSX is a common workaround for reporting.
Finally, the extension is occasionally associated with Quasar Accounting, a Linux/Windows business suite, where it functions as a data or configuration file. For these users, the goal is often migrating financial records to universal formats like PDF or standard spreadsheets.
Convert.Guru analyzes your QCC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted G10, GTT and GPX files.
If you want to convert QCC file to SVG, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG, CDR, WMF, EMF, SWF, FLA, XFL or SKETCH, you can use ActiveCaptain or similar software from the "Bathymetric Map Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert AFPUB, EPS, FIG, VSD, SKETCH, VDX, AFPHOTO, PDF, AFDESIGN, SVG, VSDX or AI files to QCC, try ActiveCaptain or another comparable tool in the "Bathymetric Map Data" 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 QCC converter.
