About SMW files
A .smw file primarily functions as a construction cost estimate document created by SmetaWIZARD, a Russian budgeting software. Alternatively, it serves as an automation system program file used by Crestron SIMPL Windows or a System Manager workflow file in MicroStrategy.
You can open estimate files natively using SmetaWIZARD. Crestron files require the Crestron suite, and workflow files use MicroStrategy System Manager.
The .smw format is highly proprietary and fractured across three completely unrelated enterprise ecosystems. SmetaWIZARD files use a Microsoft Compound structure but cannot be opened in standard Microsoft Office applications. Crestron and MicroStrategy files are proprietary logic structures requiring heavy, expensive software installations simply to view the contents. Sharing these files with clients or external teams who do not hold specialized licenses is practically impossible.
To share cost estimates with clients, convert .smw to PDF for archiving and printing, or to XLSX for spreadsheet editing. For Crestron or MicroStrategy workflows, converting to TXT or XML allows external code review outside the proprietary IDE. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing heavy enterprise software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SMW file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The SMW 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 SMW converter.
