FORMAT QUESTIONS
About QXT files
What is QXT best used for?
QXT works especially well for recovering the visible design of older publishing templates.
What can change during conversion?
Template behavior, fonts, linked assets, extensions, and advanced typography may not transfer. Features that do not exist in the chosen output format cannot be carried across exactly.
Should I keep the original QXT file?
Yes. Keep the original until you have opened the result and checked its layout, quality, data, media tracks, or other important details.
