Extract text from FastReport or FileMaker files (FP3)
To convert FP3 database files to another format, you need FastReport VCL or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Prepared Report Preview File" file type, you need software like FastReport VCL or a similar tool.
The .fp3 file extension is predominantly used as a FastReport Prepared Report file by the FastReport VCL reporting tool. These files store a document's layout and data in an XML-based structure, allowing users to preview reports before printing. A secondary, notable use for the .fp3 extension is as a legacy relational database file for FileMaker Pro 3, developed by Claris. A small fraction of these files are also 3D design files created by FloorPlan Plus 3D software.
The primary disadvantage of the .fp3 format is its rigid, proprietary nature. FastReport .fp3 files cannot be opened by standard web browsers, making them extremely frustrating to share with clients or colleagues who do not have the standalone viewer installed. Furthermore, legacy FileMaker Pro 3 databases require obsolete 32-bit environments to open natively, and extracting data from them is a known migration bottleneck due to their outdated structure.
To make these files usable, conversion is mandatory. For sharing or archiving FastReport layouts, convert .fp3 to PDF. If you need to extract the raw tables from a FileMaker database, convert the file to CSV or XLSX.

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 FP3 converter.
