What is a .MDP file?
.MDP is a file in the Design category. Analyser identifies it and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser.
- Did you know
- MDP is the native layered-canvas format of MediBang Paint and its sibling FireAlpaca, free painting apps popular with manga and comic artists.
- The file keeps each drawing layer separate along with the canvas size and blend settings, so a work in progress reopens exactly as it was left.
- MediBang Paint comes from the Japanese company MediBang Inc and shares its engine and .mdp format with the earlier FireAlpaca, running free on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify design-app files: Figma (FIG), Sketch, Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher, GIMP (XCF), CorelDRAW (CDR), MediBang Paint (MDP) and Substance. Krita (KRA), Procreate and Paint.NET (PDN) now show their embedded preview - see Raster art above.
- Depth of analysis
- .MDP is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .MDP file
- Drag a .MDP file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
