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.

JPE is an alternate file extension for JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) compressed images, functionally identical to .jpg and .jpeg files. The .jpe extension originated in early computing environments where three-character file extensions were the norm (as on MS-DOS and Windows 3.x), and some applications registered .jpe as an additional JPEG-associated extension alongside .jpg. JPE files contain standard JPEG-compressed data: the same DCT-based lossy compression that transforms 8x8 pixel blocks into frequency coefficients, quantizes them according to quality settings, and encodes the result using Huffman entropy coding. The file structure follows the JFIF or Exif specification, beginning with an SOI marker (0xFFD8), followed by application-specific markers (APP0 for JFIF, APP1 for Exif), quantization and Huffman table definitions, and the entropy-coded image data. JPE files support 8-bit grayscale and 24-bit color images at any resolution, and may contain embedded ICC color profiles, Exif metadata from digital cameras (exposure, GPS, lens data), IPTC captions, and XMP metadata. The JPEG compression algorithm achieves its remarkable efficiency by exploiting the human visual system's reduced sensitivity to high-frequency spatial detail and color differences — discarding information the eye cannot readily perceive. One advantage is the extension's broad registration in MIME type databases and file association tables, ensuring that email clients, web servers, and operating systems recognize .jpe files as JPEG images and handle them correctly. The format's universal reach is another definitive strength — JPE/JPEG is supported by literally every image-capable software and hardware device manufactured in the last three decades. Files are processable by any tool that handles JPEG, including all browsers, editors, and programming libraries.
Initial release: 1992

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WPG to JPE?

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

What programs open JPE files?

All web browsers and image viewers — JPE is an alternative JPEG extension supported everywhere JPEG works.

Is the conversion fast?

Yes — WPG to JPE conversion on Convertio runs on cloud servers and completes in seconds for typical image files.

Can I convert multiple WPG files at once?

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

Does converting WPG to JPE lose quality?

The conversion preserves the quality stored in the original WPG file. No additional degradation occurs during the format change on Convertio.

Is the original resolution preserved?

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