To convert other file formats to the "Educational Project File" file type, you need software like Code with Chrome or a similar tool.
About CWC files
A .CWC file is a Saved Project file created by Creative Web Coding (associated with Arukay) or the discontinued Code with Chrome educational tool by Google. These files are effectively JSON containers that store a student's programming work, whether it was built using visual blocks (Blockly) or raw code (JavaScript/HTML).
The Problem: The Code with Chrome application is deprecated and no longer supported on modern browsers, leaving many users with locked .CWC files they cannot open. Because the format is proprietary to that specific environment, standard code editors do not recognize the structure immediately.
The Solution: Since the internal architecture is JSON, these files can often be converted or parsed to retrieve the source code.
For Web Projects: Convert to HTML to view the result in a browser.
For Scripts: Convert to JS to edit the logic in VS Code.
For Archiving: Convert to TXT or JSON to preserve the raw data structure.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CWC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert CWC file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Code with Chrome or similar software from the "Educational Coding Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to CWC, try Code with Chrome or another comparable tool in the "Educational Coding Project" category.
The CWC Converter Story
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 CWC converter.
