'''WordPerfect Graphics''' ('''WPG''') is an image file format associated with the [[WordPerfect]] word processor. Other names for it include '''WordPerfect Graphics Metafile''' and '''WordPerfect bitmap'''. The word '''Corel''' may also appear in the name.

WPG is fundamentally a vector format, but it was often used as a wrapper for a single raster image. Vector and "raster" WPG images are both common.

== Format details ==
The [[Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats]] states that WPG is a [[Endianness|big-endian]] format, but that is incorrect. WPG is mainly a little-endian format; it also has a variable-length integer format that sometimes uses a ''mixed-endian'' format.

== Identification ==
Some or all WPG files begin with bytes {{magic|FF 'W' 'P' 'C' 10 00 00 00 01 16 01 00 ?? ?? 00 00}}.

Some later WPG files can be contained in the [[Microsoft Compound File|"OLE2" document container format]].
