Extract text from WPF files
To convert your WPF file to another format, you need Corel WordPerfect or other Text software.
To convert other file formats to the "Word Processing" file type, you need software like Corel WordPerfect or a similar tool.
A .wpf file is a fillable form or document template created by Corel WordPerfect, a word processing suite that competes with Microsoft Word. While highly capable within the Corel ecosystem, relying on .wpf files today creates significant compatibility friction. The format is proprietary, meaning you usually need a licensed copy of Corel WordPerfect Office just to view the content correctly. Unlike standard DOCX files, .wpf forms often contain specific layout instructions, macros, or fields that do not render natively in modern web browsers or mobile devices. Sending a .wpf file to a colleague typically results in an error message or a request to resend the file in a different format.
To overcome this lock-in, converting the file is the most pragmatic solution. For archiving or sharing a non-editable version of the form, converting to PDF is the gold standard, ensuring the visual layout remains intact on any screen. If you need to edit the text or modify the form fields without buying Corel software, converting to DOCX (Microsoft Word) or RTF (Rich Text Format) is recommended. Be aware that complex form logic or specific Corel-based formatting rules may shift during conversion to Word formats, requiring some manual cleanup.

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 WPF converter.
