All about COP Files

The COP file type is primarily associated with Capture One Pro.

COP	File extension: COP
	File type:	data container

What is a COP file?

COP files mostly belong to Capture One Pro. COP files are not a single type of file but a file extension used by several specialized systems. For instance, some COP files store Capture One image edits made with Capture One Pro. These files hold non‐destructive adjustments and settings applied to images.
Other COP files use different internal formats. They may include:

• SQLite databases that hold structured data. Such files can be opened with an SQLite browser.
• TIFF-based documents linked with printer or office document systems (as seen with Canon Office Printer documents and WordPerfect/ProWrite Copier files).
• Compressed ZIP archives used by Spanish accounting software for backup purposes.
• TSPLIB problem instances, which are input files for optimization solvers such as the Concorde TSP Solver. More details are available on the Concorde TSP Solver site.
• Compressed OPUS files used for canopy optimization by CONVAL.

FilExt.com tip: The method for opening a COP file depends on its content. Use the original application—for example, Capture One Pro for image edits or a specialized tool for SQLite databases or TSPLIB instances—to view the file properly.

How can I open a COP file?

You need a suitable software like Capture One Pro to open a COP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your COP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a COP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

COP file format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below is our analysis of the COP files:

The COP file extension is not widely used. Such a file is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The following file formats are most commonly found in COP files:

• 35% of all COP files start with the magic bytes 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. A typical file size is 1 MB. The file type is old but is used even today.
• 9% of all COP files are using the well-known SQL file format to store the data. An SQL file contains a lightweight SQLite database, widely used in application development for storing application related data. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. COP files can be up to 8.1 MB in size, but are often around 8.1 MB - 8.1 MB. The following keywords are characteristic: SQLite format 3.

The remaining 56% of all COP files are different files with different signatures, the following 3 formats can be found: TIFF. Tagged as comod, bgbescheid or shield. If you want to find out what your COP file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
