About WGP files

The .WGP file is a proprietary project format utilized by WebHat's Web Gallery software. These files are designed to store configuration settings, layout choices, structural data, and metadata used for generating web-based photo galleries.

Opening these files typically requires the original WebHat application. Because .WGP functions strictly as a project container, it suffers from several distinct disadvantages. It is highly proprietary, undocumented, and fundamentally useless without the original source media. .WGP files rarely embed high-resolution images; instead, they store local file paths pointing to directories on the creator's hard drive. Consequently, sharing a .WGP file with a client or colleague will result in broken links and rendering errors.

To make the gallery accessible, users must export the .WGP project into standard, browser-compatible formats such as HTML, CSS, and JPG. Converting a .WGP file directly using standard online tools almost always fails because those tools cannot access the local file paths where your actual images are stored. Only the original software can properly compile and export the final gallery.

Because this is a closed, proprietary format, third-party support is practically non-existent. Our analyzer will inspect the .WGP file to reveal internal text data, configuration XML, or hidden thumbnails. If our analysis detects a supported underlying format, partial data extraction and viewing may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your WGP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted FSY, AXA and DCP files.
