I have a lot of illustrations from a prior life done in the Windows software Canvas. The files have .cvs extensions. I'd like to convert them to something actually useful in Ubuntu. Is there any Ubuntu software that can open them?

It's hard to search for this, because I get a zillion .csv results!

    Since Linux filenames do not encode the format of the data in the name, except by convention (*.c, *.sh), . Use the file command to see if Linux recognizes the file's format.

    I understand that Canvas can export in a variety of formats. If you can get hold of a Windows machine with Canvas installed, maybe you can export your images to a format Ubuntu can use?

    "filetype .cvs -.csv" reduces the .csv hits with Google search or DDG.

    @DKBose I was able to download a trial version of Canvas, run it in my Windows VM, and recover the files. Since your comment is what suggested a way to solve my problem, if you'd like to post it as an answer, I'll accept it. In any case, my thanks.

I did an internet search for canvas cvs file format -csv and that led me to https://www.canvasgfx.com/en/support/product-support/supported-file-formats/.

The latter link lists a long variety of image formats that Canvas X 2019 can use as export options. Many of those formats are compatible with software available in Ubuntu.

If possible, you could try to find a Windows machine with Canvas installed and export your images in a format that Ubuntu can use.
