Extract text from CCS files
To convert your CCS file to another format, you need RIB Candy or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Management Data" file type, you need software like RIB Candy or a similar tool.
The .CCS extension is most frequently associated with RIB CCS Candy, a premier software suite for construction estimation and project control. These files contain critical project data, including Bills of Quantities (BOQ), resource lists, and tender valuations. The real problem for .CCS files is their proprietary nature; they are locked to the RIB Candy ecosystem, which is standard in the construction industry but requires a specialized license. Stakeholders like subcontractors or clients who merely need to review a bid often cannot open the file. Converting these files to PDF for static reviewing or Microsoft Excel (.XLSX) for data analysis is the standard workflow to bypass this restriction.
Alternatively, a .CCS file may be a Citation Style file used by Citavi, a reference management tool. In this context, the file is essentially an XML document that defines how bibliographies are formatted (e.g., APA, MLA). While Citavi includes a built-in editor, users often struggle to view the raw code or migrate the style to other platforms. Renaming the extension to XML or converting to Text (.TXT) allows users to inspect the structure in a standard text editor like Notepad++. Less common uses include game animation scenes for CyberConnect2 engines or HVAC configuration files.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CCS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CSS, TXT, CTV and CPS files.

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 CCS converter.
