Extract text from QF files
To convert your QF file to another format, you need ExamView or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Assessment File" file type, you need software like ExamView or a similar tool.
A .qf file is primarily a Question Bank file used by assessment software like Wimba Diploma and often associated with the ExamView ecosystem (now part of Turning Technologies). These files contain organized sets of test questions - multiple choice, true/false, and matching - used by educators to generate exams.
The main issue for .qf files is their proprietary nature; they are typically locked inside older test-generator software distributed with textbook publisher CDs. Teachers often find themselves with valuable question data they cannot access because they lack the specific version of Diploma or ExamView required to open it, or the software is no longer supported on modern operating systems (like macOS Sonoma or Windows 11). Furthermore, these files are not natively viewable in web browsers or standard word processors.
To make the content usable, users typically need to convert .qf files into Microsoft Word (.DOCX) or Rich Text Format (.RTF) for editing and printing. For digital use, converting to QTI (Question and Test Interoperability) or Blackboard ZIP format is essential for importing questions into modern Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard Learn. Some users also seek to convert these question banks into CSV format to import study sets into Quizlet.

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 QF converter.
