Convert WI to PNG

Understanding WI and PNG file formats

WI files are proprietary image files used primarily by CorelDRAW and some other Corel applications. They are not widely supported outside of Corel's ecosystem and are typically used for storing bitmap images with specific Corel features.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a popular raster image format known for its lossless compression and support for transparency. PNG files are widely used for web graphics, digital artwork, and images requiring high quality and transparency.

Why convert WI to PNG?

Converting a WI file to PNG allows for broader compatibility, easier sharing, and use in web or graphic design projects. PNG files are supported by virtually all image viewers and editors, making them a versatile choice for most users.

How to convert WI to PNG

Since WI is a proprietary format, the best way to convert it is by using CorelDRAW, the software that natively supports WI files. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open your WI file in CorelDRAW.
• Go to File → Export.
• In the export dialog, select PNG as the output format.
• Choose your desired export settings (resolution, transparency, etc.).
• Click Export to save your image as a PNG file.

Best software for WI to PNG conversion

CorelDRAW is the recommended software for converting WI files to PNG, as it offers full compatibility and preserves image quality. If you do not have access to CorelDRAW, you may try online converters like Zamzar or Convertio, but success may vary due to limited support for WI files.

Tips for successful conversion

• Always check the output PNG for quality and transparency settings.
• If you encounter issues, ensure your WI file is not corrupted and is supported by your version of CorelDRAW.
• For batch conversions, CorelDRAW’s scripting or macro features can help automate the process.
