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 if it were a raster format. Many WPG files contain just a single raster image. Some image viewers "support" WPG by extracting the raster image(s), and ignoring everything else.

Format details
The Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats states that WPG is a 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 FF 'W' 'P' 'C' 10 00 00 00 01 16 01 00 ?? ?? 00 00.
