WinZip, developed by Corel, uses WJF files to save archive jobs. A job can specify the folders and files to include, the archive destination, encryption and other security settings, and related creation options.
WinZip can run a job manually or schedule it to run periodically. WJF jobs can also be used for file-system backups and can specify a remote FTP location to which the resulting archives are sent after they are created.
The format is associated with the Windows version of WinZip and is intended to be used as part of WinZip's job and backup features.
Open the WJF file with WinZip on Microsoft Windows. Opening the file in WinZip should load the saved job settings, which can then be reviewed, edited, scheduled, or run.
WJF files are job definitions, not archives, so they do not have a useful direct conversion to another file format. Use WinZip to run the job and create the configured ZIP archive, or create a new job in WinZip if the settings need to be reproduced in another installation.

WinJournal is a journaling application for Microsoft Windows. The WJF file extension identifies a journal file used by the application.
A WJF file contains a digital journal and its entries for use within WinJournal. It is a program-specific format rather than a general-purpose document format.
WinJournal is the appropriate software for working with these files on Windows. Compatibility with WJF files depends on having a version of WinJournal available.
Open a WJF file with WinJournal on Microsoft Windows. Use the application's Open command and select the WJF file.
Other applications may not interpret the file correctly because WJF is WinJournal's native journal format.
Open the file in WinJournal and use any export options provided by the application to save the journal content in another format.
