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.

WebP is an image format developed by Google, announced on September 30, 2010, designed to provide superior compression for web images in both lossy and lossless modes. The lossy mode is derived from the VP8 video codec's intra-frame coding (the same technology used in WebM video), applying block prediction, transform coding, and adaptive quantization to photographic content. The lossless mode uses a distinct algorithm combining predictive coding, color space transforms, backward reference to repeated pixel patterns, and entropy coding. WebP also supports alpha transparency in both modes — lossy WebP with transparency is unique among common web formats, offering semi-transparent images at much smaller sizes than PNG. The format supports animated sequences as well, providing a modern alternative to GIF with full-color support and dramatically better compression. One advantage is substantial file size reduction — lossy WebP produces images 25-35% smaller than JPEG at equivalent visual quality, and lossless WebP is typically 26% smaller than PNG, directly improving web page loading speed and reducing bandwidth costs. Universal browser support provides another key strength: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and all mobile browsers now render WebP natively, achieving the broad adoption threshold needed for practical deployment. Google's core web infrastructure (Search, YouTube thumbnails, Gmail) uses WebP extensively, and the format is supported by major CDN platforms, CMS systems, and image processing services. WebP has established itself as the primary modern alternative to JPEG and PNG for web content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WPG to WEBP?

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

What can I use to view WEBP files?

All modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari), Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET, and most current image viewers.

Are colors preserved during conversion?

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

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.

Is the original resolution preserved?

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

Are my files secure during conversion?

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