Extract text from QlikView documents (QVW)
To convert QVW documents to another format, you need QlikView or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Business Intelligence Document" file type, you need software like QlikView or a similar tool.
A .QVW file is a proprietary business intelligence application document created by QlikView. It stores a complete analytics application in a single file, including the data model, the data load script, and the user interface with interactive dashboards.
The primary software used to open and edit these files is QlikView Desktop. You can also import them into the newer Qlik Sense platform. Sharing these files is inherently problematic. They are proprietary, meaning the recipient must have a paid license or desktop client installed to view the data. Additionally, because the format stores highly compressed in-memory data, .QVW files can easily exceed hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes, making them impossible to email.
To share insights with non-technical users or stakeholders without Qlik access, you must convert the contents. The best target formats are PDF for static dashboard reports, and CSV or XLSX for extracting the raw data tables. Exporting to these formats means you will lose the interactive filtering capabilities of the original file.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to convert externally. .QVW is a closed, binary format. Standard online converters fail because rendering the charts and data tables requires the proprietary Qlik associative engine to calculate the data model on the fly. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your QVW file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted QVF, QVD, 1, ZIP and 19 files.
If you want to convert QVW file to QVF, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT or DB, you can use QlikView or similar software from the "Business Intelligence Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to QVW, try QlikView or another comparable tool in the "Business Intelligence Data Storage" 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 QVW converter.
