Why not a free cloud converter?
Don't Risk Legacy Spreadsheet Data with Free Cloud Converters
Quattro Pro archives often contain payroll, pricing, client ledgers, forecasts, and regulated operational records.
The Risk
Cloud converters may retain confidential spreadsheets or process them outside your approved data boundaries.
The Scale Problem
Opening files one at a time does not work for departmental archives or acquisition data rooms.
The Format Gap
Old .qpw, .wq1, .wb1, and .wb* files need modern outputs before teams can search, analyze, or preserve them.
The answer
Converts on your PC. Nothing is uploaded.
- Files stay behind your firewall
- Batch whole folder trees recursively
- Several output formats in one pass
- No account and nothing uploaded
Fidelity varies with very old or complex files — test with 10 free files first.
How it works
- 1
Add files or folders
Point it at a single file or a whole folder tree — subfolders are scanned recursively.
- 2
Tick your outputs
Pick one or more output formats — several in one pass, optionally mirroring your folder structure.
- 3
Convert — then search it all
Click Convert. Need to find things later? Conversion Library Plus indexes what you converted.
What you get
Open legacy Quattro Pro workbooks without the original app — then bulk-convert with fidelity that holds up for finance and ops.
No Quattro Pro Needed
Don't hunt down a 25-year-old Quattro Pro or WordPerfect Office license just to open old workbooks. Quattro Pro Converter is fully standalone — no Corel/Borland software, no Excel add-ins, no third-party runtimes. Install and convert.
100% Local Processing
Quattro Pro Converter works where your spreadsheets are. Workbooks stay on your machine, behind your firewall — suitable for SOX, GLBA, HIPAA, and contractual confidentiality obligations that prohibit cloud uploads of regulated data.
Bulk & Multi-Format Output
Point Quattro Pro Converter at folder trees and convert thousands of workbooks in one pass. Tick XLSX, CSV, PDF, and more together — process the archive once, get every output your downstream teams need.
Explorer & Watch Folders
Right-click a file or folder in Windows Explorer for quick convert, or point a watch folder at a migration drop zone so new .wq1, .wq2, .wb2, or .qpw files convert automatically.
Multi-Sheet Workbook Fidelity
Purpose-built for Quattro Pro. We preserve every tab in a multi-sheet .wb2 or .qpw workbook in the XLSX output, keep number formats intact, and translate cells, formulas, and named ranges where the source data allows.
Supported formats
Convert common Borland and Corel WordPerfect Office-era Quattro Pro spreadsheet files into modern formats for review, archive, and analytics.
Inputs
.qpw, .wq1, .wq2, .wb1, .wb2, .wb3
Outputs
XLSX, PDF, HTML, Markdown, CSV, XLS
