What is a WB2 file?
A .WB2 file is primarily a spreadsheet notebook file created by Corel Quattro Pro. It contains data organized in rows and columns, formulas, and charts. Historically, the .WB2 extension was used by older versions of the spreadsheet software. Another possible format for the .WB2 extension is a Webshots Picture File associated with Threefold Photos. Because a .WB2 file can be either a spreadsheet or an image format, viewer.online/wb2 analyzes .WB2 files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
How to open WB2 files?
To open a .WB2 spreadsheet locally, you need Corel WordPerfect Office, which includes Corel Quattro Pro. Some older versions of Microsoft Excel may import .WB2 files, but modern versions usually require conversion first. If your file is a Webshots Picture File, you need legacy Webshots software to view the image.
Best practices and troubleshooting
Since .WB2 is a legacy extension, compatibility problems are common. If you cannot open your file on a modern operating system, consider converting it. We recommend file conversion to sensible target formats on convert.guru. You can convert .WB2 spreadsheets to standard .XLSX or .CSV formats. For images, convert them to standard .JPG or .PNG files.
Software and tools
The most reliable software for this extension is Corel Quattro Pro for spreadsheets. LibreOffice Calc can also attempt to read some legacy Quattro Pro formats using the `libqxp` library. For image variations, legacy viewers or specific extraction scripts are necessary.
Summary
viewer.online/wb2 directly opens and previews .WB2 files in the browser, eliminating the need to install software or troubleshoot compatibility issues.
