Extract text from FG files
To convert your FG file to another format, you need FaceGen Modeller or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Face Topology Model" file type, you need software like FaceGen Modeller or a similar tool.
The .FG extension most commonly identifies a FaceGen 3D Model file created by Singular Inversions FaceGen Modeller. These files store parametric face topology, including shape statistics and texture coordinates used to generate realistic human faces for game environments and research. The catch for users is that .FG is a proprietary format; it cannot be opened directly in standard 3D suites like Blender or Autodesk Maya without first being exported. If you need to edit the mesh or print the model, you must convert the .FG file to an interoperable standard like OBJ, DAE (Collada), or STL.
A secondary, less common use of the .FG extension is for Family Group files associated with genealogy software like Reunion (for Mac) or older iterations of Family Tree Maker. These files contain metadata about family lineages and relationships. Users often find themselves locked out of this data if they switch operating systems or lose access to the legacy software. In this case, the best course of action is converting the data to the universal GEDCOM (GEnealogical Data COMmunication) format for migration, or to PDF for static archiving.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FIG, JPG, CFG, ZIP, PLAN, FHP, FCE, FPJ, SG, NG, PG, G and MG 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 FG converter.
