Key details as outlined by FilExt.com:

Internal format: ZIP archive containing structured project files.

Project type: Mapping project file used by SW Maps and similar applications.

Programs that open and convert SWMZ files:

SW Maps
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. SWMZ files are often referred to as SW Maps compresseds because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
WingtraOne
A .SWMZ file is a compressed archive, predominantly using the ZIP format, containing data associated with Wingtra Photogrammetry projects. These projects typically involve aerial mapping and surveying, encompassing imagery, geospatial data, and project settings. The .SWMZ extension serves as a container for all elements comprising a Wingtra project, enabling efficient storage and transfer. This file format is classified as GIS.

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). Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the SWMZ files looks like this:

SWMZ is not that commonly used as a file extension. This file type mainly uses a special format.

100% of all SWMZ files use the ZIP algorithm, multiple files are compressed and combined into one SWMZ file. Such a ZIP file contains 1 to 70 files. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. Most of these files are 4 KB to 39 MB in size. The keywords Projects and swm2 are typical for these files. A usual file name is Project 1.swmz. Files like these have the following tags: campestre.
