FAQ
CP8 to SHP Conversion
What are CP8 files?
The CP8 extension is associated with a CP8 256 grayscale image — an 8-bit image, which can render up to 256 shades of grey. The CP8 image format is currently considered obsolete and uncommon, so if you came across such an image it is probably old. The best way to manage its storing and transferring is to convert it to a more popular format.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
