About WDP files
The .WDP file extension most commonly represents a Windows Media Photo or HD Photo image, a high-definition raster image format developed by Microsoft. Later standardized globally as JPEG XR (Wikipedia), this format supports deep color depths, high dynamic range (HDR), and both lossy and lossless compression. Alternatively, a .WDP file can be an AutoCAD Electrical Project file, which is a plain UTF-8 text file that organizes drawing links for Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical. Rarely, it functions as a ZIP-compressed backup for school software or a WINDEV project file.
The main problem with image .WDP files is a severe lack of cross-platform support. Modern web browsers like Chrome and Safari, as well as iOS and Android devices, cannot natively decode or display them. They typically require native Windows software like Microsoft Photos or specialized plugins for Adobe Photoshop to open. This proprietary limitation makes sharing, web publishing, or mobile viewing extremely frustrating.
For web use and universal sharing, convert to WEBP or JPG. For archiving or editing while retaining lossless quality, convert to PNG or TIFF. If you are dealing with the AutoCAD text version, converting to PDF is ideal for sharing the project structure securely. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

The WDP 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 WDP converter.
