What is a .WPD file?
Everything worth knowing about Corel WordPerfect Document files.
A WPD file is a Corel WordPerfect document, the WordPerfect equivalent of a .doc. The free LibreOffice opens WPD files on Windows, macOS, and Linux without buying WordPerfect. For legal or government documents, do not upload to an online converter; use offline LibreOffice or WordPerfect Office instead.

Is my .WPD file uploaded anywhere?
No. Your .WPD file is read and converted for you. The first time, a small open-source conversion component is downloaded and then cached.
Why does my older .WPD file look plain?
Some older word-processor files keep their formatting in a complex binary layout. The viewer shows all the text and tables reliably; richer formatting for those files is coming with server-side conversion.
Are macros in a .WPD file safe here?
Yes. The viewer never runs macros. It only reads the document text, styles and images, and tells you when a file contains macros.
Can I edit my .WPD file?
This is a viewer. You can copy the text or save it as HTML/TXT and edit it elsewhere. An online editor is on our roadmap.
It says my .WPD file is something else. Why?
We check the file's signature, not just its name. If a file was renamed, the viewer tells you what it really is and which tool opens it.
