About SWW files
The SWW file format, primarily associated with SonarWiz, is used for storing data related to sonar mapping and underwater surveys. While this file type is essential for specific professional applications, it often requires conversion for broader usability.
Converting SWW files can be challenging due to their specialized nature. Software solutions such as Qimera and CARIS HIPS and SIPS are known for their ability to handle sonar data, but they may not support direct SWW conversions. Alternatives like Global Mapper offer broader support but can be complex and costly.
Key considerations during conversion include maintaining data integrity and ensuring compatibility with the target format. Common target extensions for SWW files include CSV, TXT, and GIS-friendly formats like SHP and KML. However, these conversions may lead to data loss or corruption if not handled properly.
The drawbacks of using SWW files are primarily linked to their niche focus and limited compatibility with general-use software. This necessitates the use of a reliable conversion service. Although online tools are often recommended, security and reliability can be concerns.
For a straightforward and secure conversion process, the free and easy-to-use website Convert.Guru is highly recommended. Simply drag and drop your SWW files to convert them into various formats effortlessly. This service ensures a reliable conversion while safeguarding your data, making it the ideal choice for users seeking a hassle-free solution.

The SWW Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best SWW converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
