Extract text from QGIS layouts and Quark templates (QPT)
To convert QPT Layouts and templates to another format, you need QGIS or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Template File" file type, you need software like QGIS or a similar tool.
The .QPT file extension primarily belongs to QGIS, a popular open-source Geographic Information System. In QGIS, a .QPT file acts as a Print Layout Template. It stores the exact arrangement of maps, legends, scale bars, and text labels for printing or exporting map compositions. Secondarily, this extension is used by QuarkXPress as a Project Template for desktop publishing.
The main disadvantage of a .QPT file is its strict software dependence. A QGIS template does not contain actual spatial data, shapefiles, or map graphics; it only holds XML-based layout instructions. This means a .QPT file is essentially blank for non-GIS users who just want to view a map. Similarly, QuarkXPress templates require a paid commercial license to open, locking your layout designs inside proprietary software. Web browsers and default system image viewers cannot natively open or render these files.
To overcome these limitations, you often need to convert or extract the underlying data. For web use or editing the raw layout code of a QGIS file, convert to XML or TXT. For archiving or sharing the actual layout visuals, you will want to target PDF or JPG. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your QPT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted QTP, QGZ, QXP, PDF, QXD, PNG, PEM, CPG, PBIX, QRP, BIN, SAV and TSX files.
If you want to convert QPT file to PDF, INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11 or OMP, you can use QGIS or similar software from the "Print Layout Template" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to QPT, try QGIS or another comparable tool in the "Print Layout Template" 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 QPT converter.
