Brief description of the .qxp file extension
The .qxp file extension is primarily recorded to be used by QuarkXPress, which is a popular Desktop publishing (DTP) program from Quark, Inc. QuarkXPress is used for creating page layouts for flyers, books, magazines, newspapers, and brochures.
.qxp files are desktop publishing documents that are created using QuarkXPress 6 or later versions. QuarkXPress 5 and earlier versions used the .qxd file extension, instead of the .qxp file extension.?Though you can open the .qxd files using QuarkXPress 6 or later, you cannot open the .qxp files using earlier versions of QuarkXPress (QuarkXPress 5 and earlier) as there is no backward compatibility.
The .qxp files store page layout information, images, and texts. These files come under the category of Page Layout Files and the mime type is: application/quarkxperss, application/x-quark-express.
