About MDP files
The .MDP file is a proprietary digital drawing project format used natively by MediBang Paint and FireAlpaca. It stores multi-layered artwork, custom brushes, blending modes, vector paths, and comic panel layouts. These files are typically used by manga artists, illustrators, and hobbyists to save work-in-progress digital paintings.
Because .MDP is an application-specific format, it suffers from severe compatibility limitations. You cannot open these files in standard web browsers, default operating system image viewers, or industry-standard professional tools like Adobe Photoshop without using the original software. Sharing an .MDP file with a client, editor, or commercial printer is highly impractical, as they will likely be unable to open it. Additionally, archiving final artwork exclusively in this format locks your creative data into a single, niche software ecosystem.
To bypass these limitations, you must convert your .MDP files into widely supported formats based on your goal. For further editing in standard graphic suites while retaining your layer structure, convert to PSD. For web publishing or quick sharing, convert to PNG or JPG (note that layers and vector data will be flattened). For print-ready archiving, convert to PDF. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MDP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert MDP file to PSD, PNG, PDF, KRA, CSP, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP or ICO, you can use MediBang Paint or similar software from the "Digital Painting Project Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to MDP, try MediBang Paint or another comparable tool in the "Digital Painting Project Storage" category.
The MDP Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MDP converter.
