Open SDW File

The files that have the SDW extension have different formats, some of them we will see below:

MrSID World File

In this case, an SDW extension file is a GIS file created for MrSID raster images.

MrSID is an image compression technology that uses wavelet algorithms, which in turn can use both lossy and lossless encoding.

It is used primarily to store fingerprints for the FBI, under the auspices of the US government, and is currently developed and distributed by Extensions.

The SDW extension, for this format, contains georeferencing information relative to the raster image contained in the SID file with real world coordinates.

SDW files are saved in a plain text format and can be viewed with a text editor, however manual editing is not recommended.

StarOffice Writer Text Document

In this application, an SDW extension file takes the format of a text document created with StarOffice Writer 5.0 or earlier.

StarOffice Writer is the word processor included in Sun Microsystem's StarOffice suite.

The SDW file can also be opened with the Apache OpenOffice Writer program.

StarWriter documents created from StarOffice 6 onwards use the SXW extension.
