Why convert WDP to PNG?
WDP is the Windows Media Photo and HD Photo extension for JPEG XR images, found in Windows Photo Gallery libraries and Microsoft imaging tools. The photo is decoded with the JPEG XR reference decoder at its full width and height, with its colours and detail carried into the image.
PNG keeps every pixel exactly as rendered, so text, thin lines and flat colours stay crisp, and transparency is preserved.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert WDP to PNG?
Drop your WDP file above and press Convert. Our servers decode the HD Photo data with Microsoft's reference JxrDecApp decoder into a lossless PNG, then encode that picture in the format you chose. The result is saved as a lossless PNG, ready to download.
Which program reads the HD Photo data in a WDP file for the PNG?
JxrDecApp, the reference decoder from Microsoft's open-source jxrlib. It decodes the picture losslessly, and that decoded image becomes the PNG.
How does a WDP file relate to JXR when it becomes a PNG?
WDP and JXR hold the same JPEG XR format under different extensions, so both are decoded in exactly the same way and produce the same PNG.
How big is the PNG image from a WDP file?
The image keeps the full pixel dimensions of the WDP photo.
Why is PNG a good fit for a WDP conversion?
PNG is lossless: the image keeps every rendered pixel with no compression artefacts, which keeps small text, table lines and drawings perfectly sharp.
