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
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format developed by the PNG Development Group and published as a W3C Recommendation on October 1, 1996, created as a patent-free replacement for GIF after the Unisys LZW patent controversy. PNG uses a two-stage compression pipeline: a prediction filter selects the optimal per-row preprocessing (none, sub, up, average, or Paeth), then DEFLATE compression encodes the filtered data. The format supports rich color modes — 1/2/4/8/16-bit grayscale, 8/16-bit per channel true color, and indexed color with palettes up to 256 entries — all with optional alpha transparency ranging from a single transparent color to a full per-pixel alpha channel with 256 or 65536 levels. PNG also stores gamma correction, ICC color profiles, text metadata, and suggested background color. One advantage is lossless compression with transparency — PNG preserves every pixel exactly while supporting smooth semi-transparent edges, making it the standard format for web graphics, UI elements, logos, screenshots, and any image where artifacts or color shifts are unacceptable. Universal support is another core strength: every web browser, operating system, image editor, and programming library handles PNG natively. The format has proven remarkably durable — after nearly three decades, PNG remains the default lossless web image format. While newer formats like WebP and AVIF offer better compression, PNG's combination of lossless quality, full transparency, and absolute ubiquity keeps it indispensable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WPG to PNG?

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

How do I open a PNG file?

Any web browser, plus Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET, Preview on macOS, and the built-in photo viewers on Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Are colors preserved during conversion?

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

Do I need to pay for this converter?

Basic WPG to PNG conversions are free. Convertio offers premium tiers for heavier workloads with faster processing and priority support.

Is the original resolution preserved?

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

Will the image quality change?

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