Wondr files

A Wondr file (.wdr) is your whole project in one file you keep on your computer. Open it again later to keep working exactly where you left off.

Save a Wondr file

1. Open the Save menu and type a Title.
2. Optionally turn on Include History to keep your undo steps in the file.
3. Click Save File, or use its keyboard shortcut.

The file downloads as <Title>.wdr to your browser's downloads folder.

You can also right-click an empty spot of the canvas and choose Save.

Open a Wondr file

1. Open the Designs menu.
2. Click the file icon on the right side of the search box.
3. Choose a .wdr file.

The design opens with its title, layers, and all elements included from its last save.

With or without history

• Include History off (the default until you turn it on, then Wondr remembers your choice): a smaller file. It opens as it looked, but you cannot undo past that point.
• Include History on: an increased file size that keeps your undo and redo steps, so you can undo after opening it.

What is inside

• Your canvas size, background and view.
• Every layer and its settings.
• Your Uploads gallery and the images you placed.
• The list of fonts used. The fonts themselves load again from the web when you open the file.
• Your undo history, if you chose to include it.

Your Settings preferences and Save menu choices are not stored in the file.

Good to know

• Wondr files are encrypted. They open only in Wondr, in any active account.
• Saving and opening a Wondr file need an internet connection.
• A file that was changed outside Wondr, or is not a Wondr file, shows Invalid file format and is not opened.
• Image-heavy projects make larger files, because the images are stored inside.
• To open a file, use the file icon. Dragging a .wdr onto the studio does not open it.
