About BLP

Blizzard keeps the textures of Warcraft III and World of Warcraft as BLP files, inside the games' archives. Map makers import BLPs for their custom units and icons, and addon makers and fan sites take them out of the game.

Warcraft III's BLP1 holds either JPEG data, every mipmap sharing one JPEG header, or 256 colors with an alpha plane. World of Warcraft's BLP2 holds a palette, DXT1, DXT3 or DXT5, or plain BGRA pixels, each mipmap at its own place in the file.

Filepeek decodes each kind in your browser at its biggest mipmap, the JPEG kind through the browser's own decoder, and Export saves it as PNG or JPEG. A BLP inside a Warcraft III map or an MPQ opens from the archive's list.
