WP Converter

What is WP Converter?

WP Converter is a standalone macOS file-conversion utility for working with older WordPerfect documents and related formats. It is published by Edward Mendelson and is intended for users who need to open, migrate, or reuse WordPerfect files in modern workflows. The app can convert WordPerfect files to formats such as RTF and can also turn ODT, DOCX, RTF, or HTML files into WordPerfect-compatible formats for legacy use. It also supports converting WPG graphics into PNG or SVG files. This makes it useful for archives, legal offices, researchers, and long-time WordPerfect users who need to preserve access to older documents on a Mac.

Key features

• Convert WordPerfect documents into RTF and other more accessible formats
• Create WordPerfect-compatible files from ODT, DOCX, RTF, or HTML documents
• Export older WordPerfect for Mac files into formats usable by other WordPerfect versions
• Convert WPG graphics into PNG or SVG files
• Process files by launching the app or dropping documents onto it

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

WP Converter is a niche document-conversion tool for legacy WordPerfect files and related formats. Its file access is consistent with that purpose, because it needs to read source documents and write converted copies. Converted files may lose some formatting details, so keep originals if the documents matter for legal, archival, or publishing work. If you no longer use WordPerfect files, removing the app is generally low risk aside from losing its conversion features.

Recommendation: Keep WP Converter if you still work with legacy WordPerfect documents or WPG graphics on your Mac. If you do not use those formats, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though you may want to keep a backup copy if you maintain older archives.
