WordPerfect Graphics (.wpg)

The WPG file extension represents WordPerfect Graphics, a format primarily linked with Corel's WordPerfect Office suite. This format accommodates both vector and bitmap images, offering versatility for various graphic requirements. WPG files support up to 256 colors and include Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) information, enhancing their capacity to store detailed graphic data. This format is particularly beneficial for embedding clipart images in text documents, enabling the inclusion of visual elements in word processing files. The dual capability to handle vector and bitmap data makes WPG files suitable for a wide range of graphic applications, from simple illustrations to complex designs.

Corel WordPerfect, the main application utilizing WPG files, is a word processing software akin to Microsoft Word, but with a distinct emphasis on integrating graphics into documents. The WPG format is supported by various Corel applications, including CorelDRAW Graphics Suite and Corel PaintShop Pro, which can create, edit, and convert WPG files. Additionally, free programs can open and convert WPG files, ensuring accessibility beyond the Corel ecosystem. This broad compatibility allows WPG files to be used and shared across different platforms and applications, maintaining their utility in various graphic and document processing tasks.
