What is a WPS file?
A .WPS file is a word processing document. It is usually a Microsoft Works Word Processor Document created by Microsoft Works. Alternatively, it is a Kingsoft Writer Document created by WPS Office. Less commonly, a .WPS file is a WordPerfect document or a Translator's Workbench Project File by SDL.
How to open WPS files?
Because a .WPS file has multiple possible meanings, you need the correct software to open it. You can use WPS Office to open modern Kingsoft documents. For older Microsoft Works files, you can use Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer.
Best practices and troubleshooting
If you do not know the origin of your file, viewer.online/wps analyzes .WPS files to identify their exact format and creator software. It shows which programs can open the file and usually previews it. If you need to edit the file in modern software, we recommend file conversion to sensible target formats like .DOCX or .PDF on convert.guru.
Software and tools
The most common tools for this format are WPS Office and legacy versions of Microsoft Works. Modern alternatives like LibreOffice provide excellent support for reading old Microsoft Works files on modern operating systems.
Summary
viewer.online/wps directly opens and previews .WPS files in the browser, eliminating the need to install software or troubleshoot compatibility issues.
