What is a WGT file?

WGT files mostly belong to Tizen Studio. WGT files are used in more than one context. The majority are Tizen widget packages that use a ZIP structure. These files contain code, resources, and a manifest used by the Tizen operating system. You can open them with Tizen Studio or any ZIP extractor. For more details, visit Tizen Studio.
Other uses include:
  • Game widget archive: A small number are created by game teams, sometimes known as Wii Widget archive files and handled with tools like the WGT Editor.
  • Audio file format: Few files use the RIFF format to store waveform audio data, linked with some game titles.
  • FilExt.com note: This file's purpose depends on its origin. Identify the context to choose the right application for viewing its content.

    How to open WGT files

    You need a suitable software like Tizen Studio to open a WGT 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 WGT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a WGT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
