Extract text from Fortran 95 source files (F95)
To convert F95 source files to another format, you need GNU Fortran or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Source Code File" file type, you need software like GNU Fortran or a similar tool.
The .F95 file contains plain text source code written in Fortran 95, an imperative programming language designed for complex mathematical, scientific, and high-performance computing. These files are typically created and edited using specialized text editors like Visual Studio Code or Notepad++, and must be compiled using software like GNU Fortran (gfortran) or the Intel Fortran Compiler to become executable. You can learn more about its history on Wikipedia.
The primary disadvantage of a .F95 file is its legacy nature. While Fortran remains powerful for heavy numerical analysis, the tech industry has largely shifted to Python or C++ for modern data science and machine learning. Additionally, these files cannot be executed directly; without a compiler, they are useless to non-technical end-users. Furthermore, standard word processors often corrupt the strict whitespace and line-break formatting required by Fortran compilers.
Users frequently need to convert .F95 files to TXT or MD for documentation sharing, or transpile the logic into PY (Python), C, or CPP to modernize their tech stacks. Standard online converters fail to process source code properly, often destroying the essential monospace formatting.
Convert.Guru analyzes your F95 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert F95 file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use GNU Fortran or similar software from the "Scientific Computing Source Code" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to F95, try GNU Fortran or another comparable tool in the "Scientific Computing Source Code" 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 F95 converter.
