HQX File

<p style="text-align: justify;">Macintosh BinHex 4 Compressed Archive files posses the .HQX file extensions. Such files consist of details that have been compressed into 7-bit binary text format from an 8-bit format.&nbsp;<br /><br />This file format was originated so that both forks of the MAC files can be easily combined into a single file. This makes it extremely easy to transfer large sized documents, images and multimedia files over the Internet.<br /><br />The .HQX extension was originally developed for Mac systems and this type of file format is not compatible with Windows operating system.
