BCW File

What are BCW files and how to open them

Are you having problems opening a BCW file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your BCW files.

What is a BCW file?

A .BCW file is a BusinessCards MX Project file.

BusinessCards MX project files with the extension .bcw store the design data for a business card layout created by BusinessCards MX, a Windows program by Mojosoft Software. These files contain everything you set up when designing a card - text, images, background layouts, clip art, and positioning - so you can edit or print your design later.

BusinessCards MX writes .bcw files when you save a card project. When reopened in the same program, you can modify any part of the design or export the card to formats like JPEG or PDF for printing or sharing. The file keeps all layout elements intact so your edits preserve previous work.

Technically, a .bcw file is a binary format. It begins with the ASCII signature "STOR" at offset 0, includes the ASCII strings "thumb" at offset 38 and "page" at offset 63, and somewhere in the file contains "JFIF" (indicating embedded JPEG image data). These identifiers help software recognise it as a BusinessCards MX project file.
