The oc4 file extension is associated with openCanvas, a drawing program developed by PGN for Apple macOS and Mac OS X.
An oc4 file contains event data from openCanvas version 4. It belongs to the software's working data and records information about the drawing process for use within openCanvas.
Because the format is tied to a specific openCanvas version, it is mainly useful when working with the corresponding software. It is not intended as a general-purpose image format.
Open the oc4 file with openCanvas on Apple macOS or Mac OS X. Use the version of openCanvas that supports version 4 event data, if available.
If the file does not open, it may require the original openCanvas version or may no longer be supported by newer releases.
Open the oc4 file in a compatible version of openCanvas and export or save the resulting artwork in an image format supported by that program.
