DiffractWD
Powder diffraction analysis made simple.
Compare measured patterns, simulate from crystal data, and prepare publication-ready figures — no crystallographic background required.
Everything you need
A complete toolkit for powder diffraction pattern analysis, simulation, and visualization.
Multiple Format Support
Import powder patterns from 14 file formats including RAW, RD, CPI, UXD, XY, and more. Load crystal structures from CIF and ShelX files.
Pattern Simulation
Simulate powder patterns from single crystal data. Compare experimental and calculated patterns side by side.
Data Processing
Background subtraction, smoothing, and scaling. Customize 2-theta range, FWHM, and curve colors.
Publication Ready
Export graphs as WMF images. Customize grids, axis labels, and graph colors for publication-quality figures.
Open Source
Written in C# with an extensible add-in system. Licensed under the MIT License. Free to use and modify.
Auto Updates
Built-in auto-update and error reporting modules keep you on the latest stable version.
