Extract text from Quick Pallet Maker data files (QPM)
To convert QPM data files to another format, you need Quick Pallet Maker or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Pallet Loading Data" file type, you need software like Quick Pallet Maker or a similar tool.
The .qpm file extension represents Quick Pallet Maker Input Data used by Quick Pallet Maker from Koona Software. This file stores specific parameters for calculating optimal pallet loads, packaging dimensions, and container shipments.
The primary disadvantage of the .qpm format is that it is a highly specialized, proprietary data format. It requires the original software to open, edit, or calculate the models. Supply chain managers and warehouse operators often struggle to share these files with partners who do not have a paid software license. Standard web browsers and spreadsheet tools cannot read it natively.
Users usually need to convert .qpm data into accessible formats like CSV, XML, or TXT to integrate with standard ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems or Excel. Alternatively, exporting the calculated pallet diagrams to PDF or JPG is necessary for sharing visual instructions with floor workers. Note that converting to raw text formats will lose the visual 3D rendering capabilities of the original software.
Because it is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters fail to process .qpm files properly. Often, only the original software can accurately read or export the structured data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your QPM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert QPM file to DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT, X_T or X_B, you can use Quick Pallet Maker or similar software from the "Pallet Calculation Input Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SLDASM, DGN, PRT, IAM, X_B, CATPRODUCT, SLDPRT, RVT, ASM, DWG, CATPART or DXF files to QPM, try Quick Pallet Maker or another comparable tool in the "Pallet Calculation Input 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 QPM converter.
