How to convert QPW to CSV — step by step
Install Quattro Pro Converter (free trial)
Download the offline installer for Windows 10/11. The trial converts up to 25 files with all features.
Point it at your archive
Select a folder and Quattro Pro Converter recursively finds every notebook inside — even files with missing or wrong extensions.
Choose CSV output
Select CSV. Each sheet is exported as clean, delimited rows. Need a spreadsheet with all sheets in one file? Add XLSX to the same run.
Convert and use the data
Thousands of files convert in one pass, locally and in parallel. Import the CSVs into your database, analytics tool, or data pipeline.
Why convert Quattro Pro files to CSV?
CSV is the universal import format: every database, CRM, BI tool, and scripting language reads it. Converting a Quattro Pro archive to CSV frees the underlying data from a format nothing else can open, so it can flow into whatever system you use today.
CSV is also the leanest input for analytics and AI/RAG pipelines — plain tabular text, no layout noise. If you’re migrating records or building datasets, CSV (or Excel, if you need multiple sheets) is what you want.
Safer than online QPW converters
Searching for a "free online QPW converter" means uploading your spreadsheets to someone else's server — a real problem for financial models, ledgers, and any confidential data. Quattro Pro Converter runs entirely on your Windows PC: files are converted locally and never leave your machine. It also handles thousands of files in one batch, which no upload-one-file-at-a-time website can do.
The free trial converts up to 25 files with every feature enabled — for most people that's the whole job. Larger archives are covered by a one-time $29.95 lifetime license. No subscription, no watermarks, no uploads.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free way to convert QPW to CSV?
Yes. The free trial of Quattro Pro Converter converts up to 25 files with full features — no signup and no watermarks. For unlimited conversions, a lifetime license is a one-time $29.95 (no subscription).
Is this an online converter? Do my files get uploaded?
No. Quattro Pro Converter is a Windows desktop app — every conversion runs 100% locally on your PC. Nothing is uploaded, which matters for financial models, ledgers, and other confidential spreadsheets that shouldn't be pasted into a random website.
Can I convert an entire folder of QPW files at once?
Yes. Point Quattro Pro Converter at a folder (it scans subfolders recursively), select CSV as the output, and it batch-converts everything — thousands of files in one run, processed in parallel.
Which Quattro Pro versions and file types are supported?
Quattro Pro Converter reads notebooks from the Borland and Corel eras — .qpw, .wb1, .wb2, .wb3, .wq1, and .wq2 — and detects Quattro Pro content even when file extensions are missing or wrong.
How are multi-sheet notebooks handled in CSV?
CSV is a single-table format, so each sheet in a notebook is exported to its own CSV file. If you would rather keep every sheet together in one file, convert to XLSX instead — Quattro Pro Converter can do both in one run.
Is CSV or Excel better for importing into a database?
CSV is the most widely accepted import format for databases and CRMs. Use CSV for direct imports and data pipelines; use XLSX when you need formatting or multiple sheets preserved.
