"HPGL remains essential for legacy plotters and CAD workflows. For reliable, batch-friendly conversion, reaConverter is a top choice—just pair it with a vector editor (like Inkscape) if modifications are needed."

HPGL files: Frequently Asked Questions

What are HPGL files?

HPGL (filename extension .hpgl or .hpg) is a vector graphics file format developed by Hewlett-Packard for controlling pen plotters. Introduced in the late 1970s, it became an industry standard for technical drawing applications, computer-aided design (CAD), and large-format printing.
