About CGP files

The .CGP file is primarily used as a proprietary game data file for the Call of Duty franchise. It stores player profiles, loadout data, offline multiplayer statistics, and game settings. A secondary common use is as a Cg Shader Preset file for the RetroArch emulator, which configures visual filters for retro gaming. Other legacy uses include Canon Easy-PhotoPrint album projects and CELSYS ComicStudio page management files. Opening these files natively requires the original software, which presents significant challenges. Call of Duty data files are typically binary-encoded, tied strictly to specific game versions like Black Ops Cold War or Modern Warfare 3, and cannot be opened with standard text editors. Similarly, Canon photo projects lock users into obsolete printer software, preventing easy sharing. Converting .CGP files is highly dependent on their origin. For modding or analyzing game settings, you must extract and convert the data to human-readable formats like TXT, JSON, or XML. If you have a legacy Canon Easy-PhotoPrint project, converting the layout to PDF or JPG is essential for archival purposes or printing without the original software.
