Convert WPG to GIF

The WPG file extension stands for WordPerfect Graphics, a format used by Corel's WordPerfect Office suite to store both vector and bitmap images. These files, supporting up to 256 colors, are typically embedded as clipart in documents. Developed by Corel Corporation, WPG files are compatible with various Corel applications like CorelDRAW and PaintShop Pro, as well as some third-party tools. This format enhances document visual appeal by integrating graphics seamlessly.

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It is widely used for its support of animated images, allowing for the compression of graphics with low file sizes and without compromising quality. It's particularly popular on the internet for memes, short animations, and simple graphics due to its ability to loop animations seamlessly. GIFs support up to 256 colors and use the LZW compression algorithm to minimize file size. The format's historical significance lies in its ability to efficiently store and transmit images in an era of slower internet speeds and remains a staple in digital communication and web design today.
