Reverse conversion

CAP at a glance

CAP

Convert to CAP when keeping compatibility with a legacy capture workflow or preserving source material from a proprietary imaging system.

It is mainly useful in archive recovery and controlled migration scenarios.

WPS at a glance

WPS

Convert to WPS only when maintaining compatibility with inherited Microsoft Works documents or older systems that still expect that format.

In most current workflows the practical goal is to extract and migrate WPS content into DOCX, ODT, or PDF.

Use it as a legacy bridge, not a preferred modern target.
