What is a QPC file?

QPC files mostly belong to KaleidaGraph. QPC files are specialized graph files used by scientific and statistical plotting applications. They store chart details such as data points, axis settings, and formatting instructions.
These files are used by different software packages, so their internal structures may vary.
Usage cases include:

KaleidaGraph chart/plot files: These hold plot configurations and graph layout data. See Synergy for more details.

GraphPad Prism (also known as Origin graph files): They save graph settings for statistical and experimental data visualization. Visit GraphPad for additional info.

QtiPlot (QuantumPlot graph files): These are used to store scientific plot data and design for analysis. Check QtiPlot for further reference.

FilExt.com tip: This file type is not a standard image file but an internal data file meant for recreating precise charts. Using the original graphing software is key to accessing and editing its contents.

How to open a QPC file

You need a suitable software like KaleidaGraph to open a QPC file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your QPC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a QPC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert QPC files:

KaleidaGraph
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. QPC files are often referred to as KaleidaGraph data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.

(Macintosh file type QPCT) KaleidaGraph contains the toolset you need to do graphing and data analysis.

QPC file format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the QPC files:

The QPC file ending includes different formats for different programs. The file formats most commonly found in QPC files are:

40% of all QPC files use the same file format, which have the signature 00 11 00 00 00 00 00 00. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The files are 23 KB to 200 KB in size, with a median of 49 KB. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. These files are often associated with plot and data.
35% of all QPC files start with the bytes 00 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 crucial for this file format. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are on average 73 KB in size and range from 64 KB to 140 KB. Files like these have the following tags: kinetic and graph.

All other QPC files (25%) have different formats. Tagged as figure, compare, srsco or cras. If you want to find out which format your QPC file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .qpc file to analyze".

How to solve problems with QPC files

Associate the QPC file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open graph files. Because only the current version supports the latest QPC file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available KaleidaGraph update.
To make sure that your QPC file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
