Extract text from CC3 files
To convert your CC3 file to another format, you need Calendar Creator or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Project File" file type, you need software like Calendar Creator or a similar tool.
The .cc3 file extension is a classic example of a filename collision, shared by several incompatible software ecosystems. Most commonly, users encounter this format as a Calendar Creator project file developed by Broderbund. These files store complex page layouts, event databases, and proprietary clipart, acting as a "recipe" for a calendar rather than a finished image.
Because .cc3 files are proprietary project containers, they cannot be opened by standard image viewers, web browsers, or Microsoft Word. A major downside is that a .cc3 file might alternatively be a 3D visualization project from Ceramic 3D, used for interior design, or a measurement configuration file for industrial caching systems. This ambiguity leads to frequent error messages when attempting to open the file in the wrong application.
For Calendar Creator users, the primary goal is usually archiving legacy projects. Since the original software is required to interpret the layout correctly, the best approach is converting these files to PDF for printing or JPG for digital sharing. For Ceramic 3D users, converting to universal 3D formats like OBJ or STL, or rendering 2D previews as PNG, is essential for sharing designs with clients who do not own the specialized software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CC3 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CC3 converter.
