WD3 ( WD3) files are data files created by Offline Explorer, a popular web browser tool. The program allows a user to capture entire websites or just parts of them by downloading the associated HTML pages, images, sound, videos, and other objects to generate an offline version of the website. The WD3 file is used to store and decompress the archived webpages and other elements captured from the site in Offline Explorer.
Definition
Specifically, WD3 files serve as storage containers for all the data captured by Offline Explorer. They store all the necessary data, including a directory structure similar to what exists on conventional server, as well as further information, such as URL hierarchy (a list of Website addresses), links between pages and other archived elements needed for generating an offline version of a site.
Similar File Extensions
The WD3 file format is similar to other file formats commonly used for archiving web-based data, such as WAR, WEBARCHIVE, or MHT.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .WD3) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .WD3 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .WD3 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .WD3 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .WD3 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .WD3 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .WD3 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .WD3 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .WD3 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .WD3 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
