Convert Quattro Pro spreadsheets (WQ2) online for free
The converter easily converts your WQ2 spreadsheets to various formats - free and online. No Corel Quattro Pro or other Spreadsheet software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Legacy Spreadsheet File" file type, you need software like Corel Quattro Pro or a similar tool.
The .WQ2 file is a legacy spreadsheet format created by early DOS versions of Quattro Pro, a program originally developed by Borland and currently maintained by Corel. These files were heavily used in the late 1980s and early 1990s to store cell data, mathematical formulas, business charts, and macro formatting.
Users must convert .WQ2 files because the format is entirely obsolete. It is a proprietary, closed-source format that modern spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets can no longer open natively. Retaining important historical data in .WQ2 risks permanent data loss due to software incompatibility. Furthermore, these files suffer from strict legacy limitations, such as a lack of support for modern complex array formulas, Unicode characters, and datasets that exceed older 65,536 row limits.
To rescue and modernize your data, convert .WQ2 files to a standard format immediately. For general editing in modern office suites, convert to XLSX. For pure, unformatted tabular data archiving, use CSV. For open-source compatibility, convert to ODS. Note that proprietary Quattro Pro macros and legacy charting features will likely be flattened into static data during conversion. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing outdated software.

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 WQ2 converter.
