Extract text from hidden backup files (FHF)
To convert FHF hidden files to another format, you need Free Hide Folder or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Backup Container File" file type, you need software like Free Hide Folder or a similar tool.
A .FHF file is a Hidden folder data container and backup file utilized primarily by Free Hide Folder. Its typical use case is to securely store backup data, configurations, and directory paths for folders that a user has chosen to hide on their Windows operating system. By maintaining this backup, users can theoretically restore their hidden folder lists if the main application configuration is corrupted or lost.
The current format presents severe disadvantages for interoperability. It is a proprietary, closed-source format designed specifically to obscure information. This means you cannot open it in standard web browsers, text editors, or archive managers. If you uninstall the software or move the file to a different computer without the software, the data becomes inaccessible. Users often want to convert .FHF files to ZIP, TXT, or CSV to read the contents or recover trapped files. However, direct conversion is extremely difficult.
Standard online converters fail to process .FHF files because they lack the specific decryption algorithms or proprietary structural knowledge tied to Cleanersoft's software. True conversion usually requires opening the file in Free Hide Folder, restoring the backup, unhiding the folders, and then manually copying your data into standard archive formats like ZIP or TAR.
Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, often only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FHF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted UTL, CYG and FUD files.
If you want to convert FHF file to BAK, BACKUP, OLD, TMP, TEMP, ARC, ZIP, TAR, GZ, 7Z, RAR or ISO, you can use Free Hide Folder or similar software from the "Hidden folder data container" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SNAPSHOT, OLD, IMG, RESTORE, ISO, COPY, VMDK, TMP, VHD, BAK, ARCHIVE or BACKUP files to FHF, try Free Hide Folder or another comparable tool in the "Hidden folder data container" 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 FHF converter.
