• Developed by ACD Systems International, the technical drawing program Canvas creates files with the .cvs file extension.
  
  

Identification

• A file with the .cvs file extension is known as a Canvas 4 drawing file.
  
  

Function

• A file with the .cvs file extension is an image or drawing created with Canvas. The .cvs file extension allows your computer to recognize the file as being accessible with Canvas.
  
  

Features

• The drawing contained in a .cvs file may be a raster image, meaning it consists of small dots or pixels. The drawing also has the potential to be a vector image, which is made up of lines and geometric shapes rather than pixels.
  
  

Considerations

• The .cvs file extension was associated primarily with Canvs version 4, which was released during the mid-1990s. Though they can open .cvs files, newer versions of Canvas save images with the .cnv extension.
