What is a BCP file?

BCP files mostly belong to Business Card Designer Plus by CAM Development. A BCP file is a card design project created with Business Card Designer software. It contains the layout, formatting, text, graphics, and color information required to print a business card. Another type of BCP file is a project created with BIMcollab building model validation tool. The contents of this file are written in Extensible markup Language.

How to open a BCP file

You need a suitable software like Business Card Designer Plus to open a BCP 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 BCP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a BCP file directly in the browser:.

BCP format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file).

When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our analysis of the BCP files produces the following result:
