About formats

WPG (WordPerfect Graphics) is a mixed vector/raster image format developed by WordPerfect Corporation and introduced with WordPerfect 5.0 on May 5, 1988. The format was designed to provide a native graphics capability for WordPerfect documents, supporting both vector drawing elements (lines, curves, polygons, text with font specifications, and filled shapes) and embedded raster images in a single file. WPG exists in two major versions: WPG1, which supports 1-bit and indexed color rasters up to 256 colors with optional run-length encoding compression, and WPG2, introduced later, which added true-color (24-bit) support, OLE object embedding, and enhanced vector capabilities. The vector portion of WPG files stores resolution-independent drawing commands that can be scaled and printed at any output device's native resolution, while the raster portion handles photographic and scanned content. During WordPerfect's peak market dominance in the late 1980s and early 1990s, WPG was one of the most commonly encountered graphics formats in business and legal document workflows, used for logos, diagrams, letterheads, and clip art. One advantage is the hybrid vector/raster capability: WPG could combine scalable line art with photographic imagery in a single file at a time when most formats handled only one or the other, making it practical for the mixed-content graphics typical of business documents. Continued accessibility is another strength — WPG files remain readable by LibreOffice, Corel's current software suite (which inherited WordPerfect), ImageMagick, XnView, and Inkscape, ensuring decades-old documents remain viewable.

AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) is the native file format of Adobe Illustrator, the industry-standard vector graphics editor first released in January 1987 for the Apple Macintosh. Early versions of the format were based on the PostScript page description language, with each file being a conforming EPS document that could be placed in other layouts and interpreted by PostScript printers. Starting with Illustrator 9 in 2000, Adobe transitioned the AI format to a PDF-based structure, embedding Illustrator-specific editing data within a valid PDF wrapper — this dual nature means modern AI files can be opened in any PDF viewer for display, while preserving the full editable artwork including layers, artboards, and live effects when reopened in Illustrator. The format supports complex vector constructs like gradient meshes, clipping masks, symbol libraries, transparency blending modes, and multiple artboards within a single document. One significant advantage is lossless scalability — artwork maintains perfect precision at any size, from favicon to billboard, because geometry is defined mathematically rather than as pixels. Deep integration with the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem is another strength, enabling seamless round-tripping between Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and After Effects without format conversion. AI remains the de facto standard for professional illustration, logo design, and print production workflows worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WPG to AI?

Very few programs outside WordPerfect can open WPG files. Converting to AI makes the images universally accessible across all platforms.

Which apps support AI format?

Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Inkscape, Affinity Designer, and Photoshop (rasterized preview).

Is it safe to upload WPG files?

Convertio deletes uploaded files immediately after conversion. Converted output is removed from servers within 24 hours for your privacy.

Does this work on my phone?

Yes — the Convertio converter runs in any mobile browser. Upload your WPG file, pick AI, and download the result directly on your phone.

Is the original resolution preserved?

Yes — the pixel dimensions of your WPG image are maintained in the AI output. No downscaling or cropping happens during conversion.

Do I need to install anything?

No — the entire conversion runs in your web browser. There is nothing to download or install on your computer or phone to convert WPG to AI.
