.CWPRJ File

A CWPRJ file contains a project created by Brother CanvasWorkspace, a program used to create or modify cutting and drawing designs. It stores a design, which may include text, shapes, images, custom drawings, and information about colors applied to the design. CWPRJ files allow users to save edits to a design, close the project, then reopen for further editing.
