Serif DrawPlus

What is a DPP file?

A .DPP file is primarily a DrawPlus Drawing File created by Serif DrawPlus. This software is a vector graphics editor. A .DPP file stores vector graphics, images, text, and page layout settings. Because Serif discontinued DrawPlus, users often struggle to open these files today.

Alternative Uses

While vector graphics are the most common use, a .DPP file can also be an ifolor Designer photo book project, a Sage 50 report definition file, or an Asobo Studio game data package.

How to open DPP files?

If you have a DrawPlus Drawing File, you can use older versions of Serif DrawPlus to open it. For photo books, you need ifolor Designer. Because a .DPP file has multiple possible meanings, we recommend using viewer.online/dpp to identify the actual format of your specific file.
