About SYNW-PROJ files

The .synw-proj file is a project configuration file created by SynWrite, an advanced source code editor developed by UVViewSoft. It stores references to source code files, directory structures, syntax highlighting preferences, and project-specific settings rather than the actual programming code itself. The major disadvantage of this format is its strict dependency on a specific, largely obsolete IDE. SynWrite development has been officially replaced by CudaText, making .synw-proj files legacy assets. Because it is a localized settings file, sharing it with developers using modern editors like VS Code or IntelliJ is problematic - they cannot natively open it, and broken local file paths will cause errors. Standard online converters fail to process these files because they are not standalone documents or media, but structured metadata pointing to local drive locations. The best conversion targets are readable text formats like TXT, XML, or JSON to safely extract the file list and directory map for migration.

Convert.Guru analyzes your SYNW-PROJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
