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.

KWD is the native document format of KWord, the word processor component of KOffice (later renamed Calligra Suite), developed by the KDE community with its first stable release in KOffice 1.0 in 2000. KWord distinguished itself from other word processors through a frame-based layout model where text, images, and other content existed in independent frames that could be positioned freely on the page, similar to desktop publishing applications — a departure from the linear text-flow approach used by most word processors. KWD files store document content in a compressed XML format that describes the frame hierarchy, text content with formatting markup, paragraph styles, page dimensions, headers, footers, and embedded media. The format uses a ZIP container packaging the XML document alongside any referenced images and resources. One advantage was the flexible frame-based layout — users could position text and image frames independently on the page, enabling newsletter-style layouts and creative document designs without switching to a dedicated DTP application. The open XML structure is another benefit, making KWD files transparent and accessible to automated processing. KWord was included in several Linux distributions as part of the KDE desktop environment during the 2000s. The project was eventually discontinued in favor of Calligra Words, which adopted the ODF standard. KWD files can be opened with legacy KOffice installations or converted through document conversion tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WPG to KWD?

WPG is tied to WordPerfect — converting to KWD frees your graphics for use in any application, from web publishing to image editing.

What software opens KWD?

KWord (now Calligra Words), LibreOffice (with import filter), and legacy KDE office applications.

What platforms are supported?

Any device with a web browser — Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS. No software installation is needed for the conversion.

Can I convert multiple WPG files at once?

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

Is the original resolution preserved?

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

Will the KWD look like my original image?

The KWD document embeds the image from the WPG file with its original dimensions and quality — the visual appearance is preserved.
