Convert FoxPro memo files (FPT) online for free
The converter easily converts your FPT memo files to various formats - free and online. No Visual FoxPro or or other Database software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Database Memo File" file type, you need software like Visual FoxPro or a similar tool.
The .FPT file extension is most commonly associated with FoxPro Database Memo Field files. Developed by Microsoft for its now-discontinued Visual FoxPro software, this file format acts as a sidecar to a primary DBF database file. It stores large blocks of variable-length text (memo fields) that exceed the standard field limits of the core database format. Other software, like FileMaker Pro and Alpha Five, have utilized the .FPT extension for similar database memo storage. In an entirely different context, the extension is used by the Future Pinball emulator for storing 3D pinball tables, and by DigitalPersona for fingerprint templates.
The major disadvantage of the database .FPT format is its heavy dependency on obsolete software and companion files. Visual FoxPro was discontinued in 2007, making these legacy database files notoriously difficult to open on modern operating systems without emulation. Furthermore, a FoxPro .FPT file cannot be parsed independently; it must be read alongside its parent DBF file. If the DBF file is missing or corrupted, the text blocks inside the .FPT are orphaned and practically impossible to match with their original records. The proprietary binary structure of these files means standard text editors will only display scrambled, unreadable characters.
To rescue and utilize data locked in legacy databases, you must convert your .FPT and associated DBF files into modern, accessible formats. For active data analysis and migration to modern SQL databases, convert them to CSV or JSON. For basic text archiving, convert to TXT or XML. Drag and drop your .FPT file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing ancient database management software.

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 FPT converter.
