QXD file format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. 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 QXD files:

QXD is a very common file type and is primarily used by a single program. But the following two file formats are common:

• 95% of all QXD files belong to QuarkXPress Document/Project. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. QXD files can be up to 280 MB in size, but are often around 31 KB - 8 MB. This file type was primarily in use more than 20 years ago. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. IIXPR and MMXPR. Such files are related to page, cover, book, einladung, flyer, seite, text and news.
• 1% of all QXD files start with the bytes XPR3, which are crucial for this file format. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. QXD files are between 32 MB and 70 MB in size. The files contain the following words: XPR3.

The remaining 4% of all QXD files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. Mac2OSX, PDF and QXD. The category is data, copertina, booklet, journal, plakat, poster or move.
