Extract text from Game archives (FFL)
To convert FFL Archives to another format, you need Aliens versus Predator 2 or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Data Archive" file type, you need software like Aliens versus Predator 2 or a similar tool.
The .FFL file extension is most commonly associated with Aliens versus Predator 2, functioning as a game resource archive file. These archives store packed game assets, including audio tracks, 3D models, textures, and engine scripts. Because .FFL is a proprietary container used by the Lithtech game engine, it presents a significant challenge for users. It is a closed format that cannot be opened or extracted using standard archive utilities like WinRAR or 7-Zip.
Users usually need to convert or unpack .FFL files to access the internal media or to create game modifications. Disadvantages of the current format include its large file size, lack of documentation, and the necessity of finding obscure, decades-old modding tools to read the data. Standard online converters fail to process it because it lacks a unified file header standard outside of its specific game engine. Less commonly, .FFL files might be Fetion Emoticons Packages from China Mobile's obsolete messaging app, or legacy Find Fast Document Lists from old versions of Microsoft Office. Both secondary types are obsolete and heavily restricted to their native software.
The best "target formats" for a game-based .FFL file are the individual extracted assets, such as WAV for audio, PCX or PNG for textures, and TXT for configuration data.
This file format is difficult to open or convert directly. Often, only the original game engine or dedicated fan-made extractors like Dragon UnPACKer can properly read or export the data. However, you can rely on convert.guru as a pragmatic workaround. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our platform inspects the raw binary data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or extracting specific assets may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FFL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CAZ, OOP and QFC files.

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 FFL converter.
