G.O.F. WPD — Simple, Lightweight and Fast Tethering Software
Looking for tethering software that does exactly what you need, without unnecessary features, subscriptions or hassle? G.O.F. WPD is made for you.
What is G.O.F. WPD
G.O.F. WPD is a tethering software developed by a photographer for photographers who want to keep things simple. Connect your camera via USB, launch the software, and your images appear on screen in real time. It's that straightforward.
Automatic Detection
G.O.F. WPD automatically detects your camera as soon as it is connected or switched on. No action required on your part — the software handles the connection and immediately starts listening for new files.
Compatible with Most Camera Brands
G.O.F. WPD is compatible with the vast majority of cameras on the market. It supports RAW formats from all major manufacturers: NEF and NRW (Nikon), CR2 and CR3 (Canon), ARW (Sony), ORF (Olympus), RW2 (Panasonic). JPEG is of course also fully supported.
The software automatically adapts to whatever your camera sends, with no configuration needed. Whether you shoot RAW only, JPEG only, or RAW+JPEG simultaneously, G.O.F. WPD detects and handles each case automatically:
- JPEG only: the image is displayed immediately upon receipt.
- RAW + JPEG: the JPEG is displayed, the RAW is saved silently in the background.
- RAW only: the software automatically extracts the embedded JPEG from the RAW file for fast display, while keeping the original RAW file fully intact.
A Clean and Responsive Display
G.O.F. WPD offers full-frame display with two built-in loupe modes. The Quick loupe instantly displays the image at 100%, ideal for checking focus at a glance. The Classic loupe provides adjustable zoom from 100 to 300%, with mouse navigation to inspect every detail. A full-screen mode is also available for total immersion.
The software automatically handles EXIF orientation, so your images always display the right way up regardless of how the camera was held at the time of capture.
Lightweight and Conflict-Free
G.O.F. WPD uses Windows' native Windows Portable Devices (WPD) layer, with no third-party drivers required. It is fully compatible with other tethering software — you can run them side by side without any conflict.
The software is designed to stay out of your way: low resource usage, no interference with your workflow, and no unnecessary notifications.
Clear and Multilingual Interface
G.O.F. WPD is available in four languages: French, English, Spanish and German. The interface is designed to be immediately intuitive, with a clean toolbar, a permanent connection indicator, and an informative status bar.
All preferences — destination folder, language, zoom level — are grouped in a single settings window, accessible in one click from the Options menu.
Completely Free
G.O.F. WPD is freeware. It is free of charge, with no hidden costs, no subscription, no paid "Pro" version and no functional limitations. You are free to download, use and share it, in accordance with the licence terms provided with the software.
System Requirements
G.O.F. WPD runs on Windows only. It has been developed and tested on Windows 11. Compatibility with Windows 10 is not guaranteed. A USB connection between your camera and your computer is required — no internet connection is needed.
