Open with Microsoft Windows Photo Viewer (Included with OS). Available for Windows and Mac.

What is a .WDP file?

The .WDP file extension stands for Windows Media Photo File. This type of file is a compressed raster image format that was developed by Microsoft. It is similar to the popular .JPG image format but offers a higher degree of compression. This means that .WDP files can store images at a smaller file size while maintaining high quality. The format supports both lossy and lossless compression, allowing for flexibility in balancing image quality and file size.

.WDP files are primarily used for storing high-resolution digital photographs. They are compatible with several Microsoft products. For example, you can open these files using Windows Photo Viewer, which is included with some versions of the Windows operating system. Although Windows Live Movie Maker, which could also open .WDP files, has been discontinued, it was once included with the Windows OS as well.

Other programs that can open .WDP files include: - Corel PaintShop Pro 2023: A comprehensive photo editing and graphic design software. - Adobe Photoshop, when equipped with the HD Photo plugin: A widely used professional software for image editing. - Alchemy Mindworks Graphic Workshop Professional: A versatile image management tool. - Axel Rietschin FastPictureViewer: An image viewer designed for photographers. - dotPDN paint.net, with the HD Photo plugin: A free photo and image editing software. - CoolUtils Total Image Converter: A tool for converting images to various formats. - IrfanView: A fast and compact image viewer and converter. - Adobe Photoshop with HD Photo plugin: This listing appears twice, emphasizing its capability with the plugin to handle .WDP files.

It's important to note that the Windows Media Photo format has evolved into the HD Photo format, which uses the .HDP file extension. This transition reflects improvements and perhaps broader support in various software for handling these image files.
