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
JPG is the most common file extension for images compressed with the JPEG standard, published by the Joint Photographic Experts Group as ISO/IEC 10918-1 in September 1992. The three-letter .jpg extension became dominant due to the 8.3 filename limitation of MS-DOS and early Windows, while .jpeg is the full-length variant — both extensions represent identical file contents and compression. JPEG applies lossy compression using the discrete cosine transform (DCT), dividing images into 8x8 pixel blocks, transforming them into frequency coefficients, quantizing to discard visually insignificant data, and entropy-coding the result. Users control the compression level: higher quality retains more detail at larger file sizes, while lower quality achieves dramatic size reduction with increasing visible artifacts in complex textures. The format supports 24-bit true color (16.7 million colors) and 8-bit grayscale, with Exif metadata embedding camera model, exposure settings, orientation, GPS location, and creation timestamp. One advantage is unmatched device compatibility — JPG is the native output format of virtually every digital camera and smartphone, and is displayed by every image viewer, browser, and operating system in existence. Efficient photographic compression is another strength: real-world photographs with smooth gradients and complex textures compress extremely well under DCT, typically achieving 10:1 reduction at high visual quality. JPG images power the vast majority of photographic content across the web, email, social media, and digital archives worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WPG to JPG?

WPG images are trapped in the WordPerfect world. Converting to JPG liberates them for use in modern editors, presentations, and web content.

What can I use to view JPG files?

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

Are colors preserved during conversion?

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

Will the image quality change?

Image data is transferred faithfully from WPG to JPG. The conversion itself does not degrade or enhance the original pixel information.

Are my files secure during conversion?

All file transfers use encrypted connections. Uploaded WPG files are deleted after processing, and JPG outputs are purged within 24 hours.

Can I convert multiple WPG files at once?

Yes — Convertio supports batch uploads. Queue several WPG files and convert them all to JPG in one session, saving time on repetitive tasks.
