What is a WPK file?
A WPK file is a metadata file used by Nero Wave Editor, a feature within the Nero CD/DVD disc authoring suite. It stores information about the edits made to an audio file, including effects and modifications, but does not contain the actual audio data itself. WPK files enable users to save and apply changes to audio without altering the original audio file.
More Information
Users typically find WPK files alongside the original audio files they modify within Nero Wave Editor. The program generates the WPK file automatically when an audio file is edited, allowing users to save and retrieve non-destructive edits. This ensures that audio quality is maintained, as the WPK file serves as a companion to the original audio, which may be saved in .MP3, .WAV, or other formats.
How to open a WPK file
You can open WPK files with Nero Wave Editor in Windows. The program is included with the Nero multimedia suite.

A WPK file may also be a macro used by old versions of WordPerfect, a word processor for MS-DOS and Windows. It contains commands WordPerfect uses to automatically perform a task. For example, a WPK file might contain commands used to automatically add a signature to a document.
More Information
WordPerfect is a word processing program that allows users to create letters, memos, forms, resumes, and other documents. If a user knows they'll perform a certain action frequently while creating documents (e.g. formatting a certain document a certain way), they can record that action as a WordPerfect macro. Then, they can execute the macro (usually by pressing a certain keyboard combination), rather than perform the action manually.
How to open a WPK file
While you could use WPK files with previous versions of Corel WordPerfect, current versions of the program do not support the WPK format. Instead, current versions of WordPerfect use macros saved as .WCM files.
