What is an SWT file?

SWT files mostly belong to Swift Publisher. ID card templates made with the SWT file use an XML-based structure to store design details.
  • Design layout: Organizes text fields, images, and barcodes for ID cards.
  • Usage: Edited in Swift Publisher to adjust visual elements and layout.
  • Alternate name: Sometimes called CardExchange ID card design.
  • FilExt.com note: Open the file with Swift Publisher, which interprets the XML data to display the intended design. For more details, visit Swift Publisher.

    How to open SWT files

    You need a suitable software like Swift Publisher to open an SWT 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 SWT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SWT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
