Extract text from Whiteboards and audio bundles (CWB)
To convert CWB Files to another format, you need Cisco Webex or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Whiteboard Session File" file type, you need software like Cisco Webex or a similar tool.
The .cwb file format primarily functions as a Digital Whiteboard Session created by enterprise collaboration platforms like Cisco Webex and Huawei IdeaHub. These files capture vector-based strokes, text annotations, and embedded media from live meeting sessions. Secondarily, .cwb is used as a Cakewalk Bundle by Cakewalk by BandLab, storing complex multi-track audio project data in a RIFF container.
The main disadvantage of the .cwb format is strict vendor lock-in. You cannot natively open a Cisco or Huawei whiteboard file in standard image viewers or web browsers; you are forced to use their specific proprietary software just to view meeting notes. Similarly, Cakewalk bundle files trap your audio data inside the Cakewalk ecosystem, making it nearly impossible to share stems with collaborators who use different Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs).
To overcome these rigid limitations, conversion is highly recommended. For whiteboard sessions, convert .cwb to PDF for permanent archiving or JPG and PNG for easy web sharing. For audio bundles, extracting the contents to standard WAV or MP3 ensures universal cross-platform compatibility. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing heavy software.

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 CWB converter.
