What is a WTC file

WTC files mostly belong to Wikitude Studio.

WTC files can store very different types of data depending on their origin. They are used in two primary ways:

  • Vuforia World Target / 3D Model File: These files hold 3D model data and metadata for augmented reality applications. They often contain binary data designed for target recognition within AR platforms. They are typically managed with tools like Wikitude Studio and used by developers in AR projects.
  • Timecard XML File: In this case, the file uses an XML structure to store timecard or attendance data. This form of the file is processed by business software such as Wage Easy to manage employee hours and payroll information.

Examine your file by opening it with a basic text editor. If you see XML tags, it is likely a timecard file; if you see unreadable binary data, it probably is an AR target file. This distinction is crucial because each use case requires different applications for viewing and editing.

FilExt.com remember: The handling method depends on the file's internal structure, even though they share the same WTC extension.

How to open a WTC file

You need a suitable software like Wikitude Studio to open a WTC file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your WTC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a WTC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
