Extract text from Quest mod files (QMOD)
To convert QMOD mods to another format, you need QuestPatcher or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Quest Game Mod Package" file type, you need software like QuestPatcher or a similar tool.
A .qmod file is a specialized custom modification package designed for Meta Quest VR games. Modders use these files to distribute custom skins, custom maps, songs (specifically for Beat Saber), and gameplay tweaks (for games like Gorilla Tag).
These files are typically managed, installed, and deployed using specialized PC-to-VR modding tools such as QuestPatcher, BMBF, or the Quest Mod Manager.
Because .qmod is a specialized format intended for a specific hardware ecosystem (the Meta Quest headset), it cannot be opened natively by standard operating systems like Windows or macOS. Users without VR modding tools installed will face issues accessing the content inside. The format itself is actually just a standard ZIP file that has been renamed. Mod managers use this custom extension to automatically intercept the file and trigger the installation process when clicked.
To view, edit, or extract the contents of a .qmod file, the best conversion target is a standard ZIP archive. You can simply rename the extension to zip to extract the internal configuration files (usually a mod.json file) and compiled game libraries (DLL or SO files) using standard tools.
This file format is difficult to open or convert if you do not understand its underlying compressed structure.
Convert.Guru analyzes your QMOD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SABER, DLL and ZIP files.
If you want to convert QMOD file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use QuestPatcher or similar software from the "Quest VR Game Modification" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to QMOD, try QuestPatcher or another comparable tool in the "Quest VR Game Modification" 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 QMOD converter.
