Extract text from ForeUI plot files (4UI)
To convert 4UI plot files to another format, you need ForeUI or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "UI Prototype Plot File" file type, you need software like ForeUI or a similar tool.
The .4UI file format is a proprietary document generated by ForeUI, a software application developed by EaSynth Solution. It functions as a plot file that stores user interface (UI) wireframes, interactive mockups, and design layouts. These files encapsulate the structure, styling, and simulated behaviors of web or desktop applications.
The primary disadvantage of the .4UI format is its heavily closed nature. It is completely locked into the ForeUI ecosystem. Files cannot be opened natively by standard web browsers, nor are they supported by modern UI design tools like Figma or Adobe XD. Sharing a raw .4UI file with a client or developer who does not hold a ForeUI license is practically impossible, creating significant workflow bottlenecks.
To share these designs, users must convert .4UI files into universally accessible formats. The best conversion targets are HTML (which preserves DHTML interactivity), PDF (for static multipage documents), or standard raster images like PNG and JPG. Standard online converters typically fail to process .4UI files because only the original software can properly parse the proprietary data structure.
Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your 4UI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert 4UI file to [% faq_exts_to %], you can use ForeUI or similar software from the "UI Prototyping and Wireframing" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert [% faq_exts_from %] files to 4UI, try ForeUI or another comparable tool in the "UI Prototyping and Wireframing" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our 4UI converter.
