About QXP
Quark released QuarkXPress for the Mac in 1987, and through the 1990s it laid out most of the world's magazines, newspapers, catalogs and books. Its documents are .qxd and, from version 5, .qxp, and Quark still sells it by subscription for Mac and Windows.
A QuarkXPress file holds its pages and master pages, with text boxes, linked stories, picture boxes, lines and colors, in Quark's own binary format, which has changed with most versions. Without QuarkXPress, old layouts in archives and on backup disks are hard to even look at.
Filepeek reads QuarkXPress 3.1 to 4.1 files with libqxp, the open source reader LibreOffice uses, compiled to WebAssembly, and draws each page with its text, boxes, lines and colors, sharp at any zoom, its pages in a rail beside them. Search finds any word, and Export saves the pages as a PDF or as pictures.

Questions
How do I open a QuarkXPress file without QuarkXPress?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a QXP. It opens at its first page, with every page in a rail beside it.
Why doesn't my newer QuarkXPress file open?
Filepeek reads files from QuarkXPress 3.1 to 4.1 through libqxp, and QuarkXPress 5 and later changed the format. Those need QuarkXPress, which can export a PDF.
Do the pictures show?
QuarkXPress links most pictures from files beside the layout rather than keeping them inside, so picture boxes show without them.
