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.
Initial release: 1988
JPEG is one of the most widely used image formats in computing, standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group and published as ISO/IEC 10918-1 in September 1992. The .jpeg extension is functionally identical to .jpg — both contain the same JFIF or Exif-wrapped JPEG compressed image data. The format applies lossy compression using the discrete cosine transform (DCT): images are divided into 8x8 pixel blocks, transformed into frequency coefficients, quantized to discard visually less significant information, and entropy-coded for storage. The quality-to-size tradeoff is user-selectable, with typical settings producing files 10-20 times smaller than uncompressed originals at visually acceptable quality. JPEG supports 8-bit grayscale and 24-bit color, with Exif metadata carrying camera settings, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and thumbnails. One advantage is absolute universality — JPEG is readable by every image viewer, web browser, operating system, camera, phone, and printer manufactured in the past three decades, making it the safest format for sharing photographic images with any recipient. The efficient compression of continuous-tone photographic content is another core strength: JPEG consistently produces compact files from camera sensors and real-world scenes where subtle color gradients dominate. While newer formats like WebP and AVIF achieve better compression ratios, JPEG's installed base is so vast that it remains the default output of digital cameras and the most common image format on the web.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WPG to JPEG?

WPG has almost zero support outside the Corel ecosystem. Converting to JPEG lets you use those graphics in standard design and publishing tools.

What programs open JPEG files?

Every web browser and image viewer — Photoshop, GIMP, Windows Photo Viewer, macOS Preview, and any smartphone gallery app.

Can I use the JPEG on the web?

JPEG files are widely supported across browsers, apps, and services — your converted image is ready for web publishing, social media, or email.

Where can I upload WPG files from?

You can upload from your local device, Google Drive, Dropbox, or paste a direct URL. Convertio pulls the WPG file from any of these sources.

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 JPEG.

Are colors preserved during conversion?

Color data from the WPG file is mapped accurately into JPEG. The conversion maintains the original color profile as closely as the target format allows.
