What is the CDS file format?
A file with the .CDS extension is a file known as ChemDraw Stationery Document. This format is associated with CambridgeSoft Corporation.
The reliable way to open a .CDS file is with software that recognises this exact format, rather than guessing from the file name. If you are not sure what created a file, our file identifier can read its first bytes and name the real format, even when the file has been renamed.
We are still gathering the list of programs that open .CDS files. A fully verified, hand-written description of this format is being prepared; until then, the details on this page are drawn directly from our database.
