What is a WFA file?

WFA files mostly belong to WildTangent. WFA files are used by different systems for specific functions.
For example, one type is a WildTangent game archive used by Tumblebugs to store game assets and data.
Another type is created by WinFax Pro for backing up faxes. These files use a Microsoft Compound file format to package multiple data streams within a single file.
A further variant deals with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). In this case, the file may carry EDI-based workflow automation data or EDI X12 transactions. This usage supports automated business processes and data transfer through dedicated EDI software such as EDI Notepad.
Usage Examples:
  • WildTangent game archive – Contains game data and resources.
  • WinFax Pro fax backup – Stores fax backup data in a compound format. See more details at Broadcom Cybersecurity.
  • EDI and workflow automation – Holds structured EDI transactions and automation data.
  • FilExt.com tip: Identifying which type your WFA file is can help you choose the right software for opening it.
