Can one file hold several characters?

Yes. A .cvclk can contain a list of characters; all of them are imported.

Can I convert PNG or PSD to .cvclk?

Yes. Use our PSD checker to convert a PSD, or BUG Clicker's character studio for PNGs.

What Is a .cvclk File? BUG Clicker Character Format Explained

What is a .cvclk file?

In short: A .cvclk is a BUG Clicker character file. An unlocked .cvclk is a JSON text file with format "bug-clicker", a list of characters, each with PNG images (body, head1–head4, back1/2, side1/2, ex1–4) stored as base64, its lines and an author card. Protected files start with BCVCLK2 and are encrypted — only the app can open them.

What's inside

format: "bug-clicker" and the app version that made it.

characters: one or more characters, each with name, author (name, link, memo, sharing rules), images (one PNG per slot), lines (said when clicked), idleLines and reminder lines (water, pills, alarm, to-do).

Slots

body, head1 (normal), head2 (pressed), head3 (blink), head4 (petted), back1/back2 (behind the head), side1/side2 (in front), ex1–ex4 and their pressed versions ex1p–ex4p.

Unlocked vs protected

Unlocked files can be opened by any tool, including our viewer. Protected files are encrypted by BUG Clicker when the creator chooses protection; they import normally but can't be viewed or edited elsewhere.

How to open one

To use it: import it in BUG Clicker → Settings → Share. To look inside: drop it into our .cvclk viewer — nothing is uploaded.
