WPD Wizard
WPD Wizard is a document viewer and converter for macOS that specializes in opening WordPerfect files from both Mac and Windows versions. It supports a wide range of WordPerfect formats (versions 4 through 11 on Windows, 1.x through 3.5e on Mac) and reads files with extensions including .WPD, .WP, .WP7, .WP6, .WP5, and .WP4. The app preserves much of the original document formatting including text styling, footnotes, bullet points, and charts, and allows users to export content as RTF or PDF or copy it to other applications. It is intended for users who need to view legacy WordPerfect documents but do not have WordPerfect itself installed.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWPD Wizard was last updated around 2012 and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build or active development. The app is available on the Mac App Store but has not received updates in over a decade, making it a discontinued or abandoned product. It will continue to run under Rosetta 2 on current M-series Macs, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), meaning this app will stop launching on that release and any later version of macOS. If you need to view WordPerfect documents, consider using free online converters (like CloudConvert or Zamzar) to batch-convert your .WPD files to PDF or RTF format, which you can then read in any modern Mac application. Alternatively, LibreOffice (a free, open-source office suite that runs natively on Apple Silicon) can open some WordPerfect formats, though support is limited and formatting may not be perfectly preserved. Begin migrating your WordPerfect collection now so you are not caught without a way to access these files after late 2027.
