  2. You’ll see a preview, if available.
  3. Click the "Convert file to..." button to extract text information.

Convert WIP to another file type

To convert WIP projects to another format, you need WITec Project Commander or other Data software.

Convert a file to WIP

To convert other file formats to the "Microscopy Imaging Project" file type, you need software like WITec Project Commander or a similar tool.


About WIP files

A .wip file is a proprietary WITec Project file used to store complex microscopy imaging and Raman spectroscopy data. It is primarily created and managed by WITec Project Commander software. Researchers use this format to save raw spectroscopic data alongside visual microscopy scans.

This format is closed and highly proprietary. It binds your scientific data to a specific, expensive vendor ecosystem. Files frequently exceed several gigabytes because they store massive 3D hyperspectral data cubes. You cannot open a .wip file natively in web browsers, standard image viewers, or general data analysis tools without specialized software or extensive reverse-engineering.

To share this data, users must export the spectra to standard CSV or TXT files, and the Raman maps to lossless TIFF images. Be aware that the native multi-dimensional context is often lost during this export process.

Because .wip is an undocumented binary format, standard online converters fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly read, calibrate, and export the spectral data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or extraction of raw text metadata may still be possible.

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

Users also converted WEBP, ZIP, PDF, RAR, MP4, WFP, POD, HFP and MG files.

The WIP 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 WIP converter.
