QXPMarkz SE for Windows (QuarkXPress to InDesign)
QXP to InDesign, QXP to IDML and more!
Take control of your creations with QXPMarkz® SE for Windows, our next generation QXP conversion utility. QXPMarkz SE converts QuarkXPress files to IDML to be opened in Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, QuarkXPress, or other DTP applications. Designers have relied on Markzware’s InDesign plug-in, Q2ID, for decades. QXPMarkz SE offers the same functionality, now as a stand-alone application. QXPMarkz SE will convert QuarkXPress 2026 through QuarkXPress 3 to IDML! For an additional charge, QXPMarkz SE users may want to explore MarkzPortal— Markzware’s cloud-based SaaS platform for converting desktop publishing files online. Both one-time and subscription pricing options are available.

This was incredibly helpful. We had to move about 4,000 files from Quark to InDesign and from a Mac to a PC. Our office was concerned about this migration, and Markzware made it easy. I talked with customer support to find the correct product for our move. They were accommodating, even before I purchased the product. Thank you for helping us with this!

Q++Studio is the software used by most of the largest diary and calendar publishers of the world to automate the typesetting of their diaries and calendars (https://www.qppstudio.net/software/presentation.htm). Until 2021 Q++Studio was only based on the QuarkXPress file format, but since then almost a dozen of our clients have chosen to migrate to InDesign. QXPMarkz® SE was a cornerstone of the migration path that we offered to those clients (https://www.qppstudio.net/webhelp_xv4/converting-scripts-to-quarkxpress-or-indesign.htm), allowing our clients to easily convert a couple of thousand of their templates containing advanced typesetting (kerning, tracking, baseline shift, leading, rules below/above, …) placed in complex documents (object grouping, anchored objects, heavy use of layers, …). Due to the differences between InDesign and QuarkXPress (https://www.qppstudio.net/webhelp_xv4/quarkxpress-indesign-differences.htm), some touch-ups were sometimes needed, but the immense majority of the conversions were uneventful.
As design programs evolve it is great to have QXPMarkz SE and the ability to convert old quark files. I have been a designer at my company for 30 years and being able to convert customer files from the past and not reset has been cost-effective for our clients. There are times that it converts perfectly and sometimes there are issues with spacing that need to be corrected but overall I am grateful to have this program!!

I have hundreds of Quark files that I may need to access from time to time. This program lets me relax, knowing I can convert any of those files at any time without a rush to get them done in bulk.
Works great! Still need to go through each page to make sure nothing's amiss. Sometimes, pictures are resized/out of position within their frame. Haven't yet discovered if there's a common denominator as to which are correct and which are not.
