What is a WCD file?

WCD files mostly belong to Multiple Apps. WCD files are not a single standard but are used in different environments to store specialized data.
They can serve as a Word Completion Dictionary that supports text entry through word suggestions. In other cases, a WCD file is a CAD-KAS Workflow File intended for use with industrial control systems like WinCC flexible 2008.
Some WCD files contain WarRock Character Data for game editing, managed by software such as the WRF Model Editor. More details are available at this link.
Additionally, a WCD file may be a compressed game data file used by utilities like WinCDEmu, as described on their webpage.
Other uses include storing course data for orienteering (with tools such as OCAD - see OCAD) and holding window cleaning data or CAD drawing information (in projects linked to Symphony Windows and CD Architect, more at this site).
Each WCD file is designed to be read by the software that created it. To open and view your file, use the corresponding application or check its contents with a text editor if the format is not immediately clear.
For clarity, some examples include:
  • Word Completion Dictionary – Supports text input automation.
  • CAD-KAS Workflow File – Used in industrial or automation workflows.
  • WarRock Character Data – Contains game character parameters.
  • Compressed Game Data – Bundles multimedia and game assets.
  • Orienteering Course Data – Holds layout or route information.
  • Window Cleaning/CAD Drawing Data – Stores project or design elements.
  • How do you open WCD files?

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