How to Open a CPC Extension File
CPC is an image compression format developed by Cartesian Products, Inc. The major advantage of the CPC format is a dramatic reduction in the file size that is 5 to 20 times smaller than the corresponding TIFF. Cartesian Products, Inc offers several tools to view and manipulate CRC files, particularly, the free web browser add-on CPC View (Lite) to display those files.
