.CVI File Extension

Image format used by Canvas, a technical illustration and graphics editing program; may contain both bitmap and vector graphics; sometimes used for saving proxy images, which reduces the screen redraw time for image intensive documents.

The Mac version of Canvas has been discontinued. However, CVI files may still be viewed in Canvas X, which was the last release of Canvas for Mac in 2005.

Map image format used by CassiniVision, a French image viewing program; commonly used for storing historical maps, such as those from the BnF (Bibliotheque nationale de France) Gallica digital library.
