WIP file extension format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below is our analysis of the WIP files:

As a file extension, WIP isn't very common and includes different formats for the applicable programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

60% of all WIP files use the same file format, which have the signature WI. They consist of unreadable binary data. The average file size is 6 MB with most files being between 120 KB and 40 MB in size. The file type was created 10 years ago, but is still used today. The files contain the following words: Version, WITec Project, LastApplicationSessionIDs, SystemInformation and WIT_PR06. Files like these are sometimes connected to graphene, samples and glass.

All the rest of the WIP files (40%) have different formats. Just click the "Choose your .wip file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your WIP file is.

How to solve problems with WIP files

Associate the WIP file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open project files. Because only the current version supports the latest WIP file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available WITec Project Commander update.
To make sure that your WIP file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
