Extract text from Phantasy Star character files (FNP)
To convert FNP character files to another format, you need VRoid Studio or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Character Avatar Preset File" file type, you need software like VRoid Studio or a similar tool.
The .FNP file extension is a container primarily used to store character appearance data, 3D avatar presets, and model configurations. It is heavily utilized by several distinct platforms, including the MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2, the VTuber software FaceRig, the character creation tool VRoid Studio, and games like Illusion Koikatsu Party. Because each software uses the .FNP extension for its own internal structure, these files are completely incompatible with one another.
A major disadvantage of .FNP files is their proprietary, "black box" nature. You cannot simply open an .FNP file from Koikatsu in VRoid Studio, nor can you natively import them into standard 3D suites like Blender or Autodesk Maya. Users typically want to convert these files to FBX, OBJ, or VRM for cross-platform animation, or to PNG to extract character reference images. However, standard online converters fail because the geometry, bone structure, and texture data are obfuscated or compressed using undocumented game-engine algorithms.
This is a closed, proprietary format. Often only the original software can properly read or export the 3D data. However, convert.guru provides a pragmatic solution. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view its hexadecimal signature, and see if it contains embedded text or extractable media. If our analysis detects a supported underlying format - such as an embedded PNG texture card or a known 3D mesh wrapper - viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FNP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert FNP file to , you can use VRoid Studio or similar software from the "3D Character Appearance Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to FNP, try VRoid Studio or another comparable tool in the "3D Character Appearance Data" 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 FNP converter.
