Which WordPerfect versions are supported?

The converter handles WordPerfect documents from version 5.x (DOS era) through the latest WordPerfect Office X9. This covers the vast majority of WPD files found in legal, government, and corporate archives spanning three decades of WordPerfect usage.

I have old legal documents in WordPerfect format. Will the formatting be preserved?

The converter preserves text formatting, paragraph styles, margins, headers, footers, and page breaks. Complex features like reveal codes, macros, and some advanced formatting may have minor differences, but the document text and primary layout are faithfully converted.

Why can't I just open WordPerfect files in Microsoft Word?

While Word can sometimes import WPD files, the conversion quality varies significantly and often produces formatting errors, missing content, or garbled text, especially for older WordPerfect versions. Our dedicated converter provides more reliable results for archival and legal document recovery.

Are my legal documents safe during conversion?

Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. No documents are uploaded to any server. This is critical for law firms handling privileged documents, government agencies with classified records, and organizations with confidentiality requirements.
