CVS is a vector image format native to Canvas application. Although Canvas is still available on the market, CVS files are no longer in use in projects. CVX is the successor of CVS format used by the application to store image projects.

In 2005 the last version of Canvas was relased for both Windows and Mac operating systems. CVS files are not supported on Mac OS X since the release of Canvas X. Currently Canvas is distributed as a paid software and is available only for Microsoft Windows.
