About WGT files

.WGT files are primarily Tizen Widget Application Packages. They are used by Samsung Smart TVs, smartwatches, and other mobile devices running the Tizen OS. Essentially, a .WGT file is a zipped archive containing a cross-platform web application built with standard HTML5 technologies. Developers use Tizen Studio to create, compile, package, and deploy these files. Older legacy systems also used the .WGT extension for obsolete Opera browser widgets. Because .WGT files are compressed application bundles, they are not meant to be opened by standard text editors or media players. If you do not own a Tizen device or have Tizen Studio installed, inspecting the source code or extracting the web assets can be frustrating. You cannot natively double-click a .WGT file on Windows or macOS and expect it to launch an app. The best conversion target for a .WGT file is .ZIP. Since the underlying structure of a Tizen widget is standard ZIP compression, converting or renaming the extension allows you to safely access the internal .HTML, .CSS, .JS, and config.xml files without losing data. Because this is a specialized mobile and TV application format, standard online converters often fail to process it properly.

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

Users also converted ZIP, APK, TMG, TPK and GWD files.
