Convert RW3 to RWSW

Understanding rw3 and rwsw file formats

RW3 files are associated with RapidWeaver, a popular website design application for macOS. These files store website project data, including layouts, themes, and content. RWSW files, on the other hand, are project files used by RapidWeaver SiteWorks, an extension or plugin for RapidWeaver that manages site-wide settings and resources. Converting between these formats is typically necessary when migrating or upgrading projects within the RapidWeaver ecosystem.

How to convert rw3 to rwsw

There is no direct, universal converter for RW3 to RWSW because both are proprietary formats tied to specific versions of RapidWeaver and its plugins. The recommended approach is to use RapidWeaver itself, ensuring you have the SiteWorks plugin installed. Here’s how you can perform the conversion:

• Open your RW3 project in RapidWeaver.
• Install and enable the SiteWorks plugin if it’s not already present.
• Go to File → Save As or File → Export and select the RWSW format if available.
• If the option is not directly available, use the plugin’s menu to export or save the project as an RWSW file.

Always ensure you are using compatible versions of RapidWeaver and SiteWorks to avoid compatibility issues.

Best software for rw3 to rwsw conversion

The best and most reliable software for this conversion is RapidWeaver with the SiteWorks plugin. No third-party converters are recommended due to the proprietary nature of these formats. You can download RapidWeaver from the official Realmac Software website and obtain the SiteWorks plugin from its developer or the RapidWeaver community.

Summary

To convert RW3 to RWSW, use RapidWeaver with the SiteWorks plugin. Open your RW3 file, then use the plugin’s export or save features to create an RWSW file. This ensures compatibility and preserves your project data.
