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.

YUV is a raw pixel data format storing images in the Y'UV color model, where image data is separated into a luminance component (Y', representing brightness) and two chrominance components (U/Cb and V/Cr, representing color difference signals). The YUV color model originated with analog color television broadcasting — specifically the NTSC system adopted in 1953 and the PAL system in 1967 — where backward compatibility with existing black-and-white receivers required separating brightness from color information. In digital imaging, the ITU-R BT.601 standard (1982) formalized the digital YCbCr encoding derived from the analog YUV model, defining the conversion matrices and sample precision used by virtually all digital video and broadcast systems. YUV raw files contain no header, compression, or metadata — they are flat sequences of luminance and chrominance samples in a specified ordering (4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0, or other subsampling ratios), requiring external specification of dimensions, bit depth, and subsampling scheme. The 4:2:0 subsampling mode (where chrominance has half the horizontal and half the vertical resolution of luminance) is particularly common, used by H.264, H.265, AV1, and most consumer video codecs. One advantage is direct video pipeline compatibility: YUV data is the native input format for video encoders, hardware display controllers, and camera sensor ISPs, making raw YUV the most direct representation for frame-accurate video processing and analysis. The perceptual efficiency of the YUV color model is another fundamental strength — separating luma from chroma enables effective subsampling that halves or quarters the color data with minimal visible impact. YUV data is processed by FFmpeg, ImageMagick, and all video processing tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WPG to YUV?

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

How do I open a YUV file?

Video processing tools, FFmpeg, GIMP, and raw video analysis software used in broadcast engineering.

Is the original resolution preserved?

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

Does this work on my phone?

Yes — the Convertio converter runs in any mobile browser. Upload your WPG file, pick YUV, and download the result directly on your phone.

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 it safe to upload WPG files?

Convertio deletes uploaded files immediately after conversion. Converted output is removed from servers within 24 hours for your privacy.
