About FRZ files

The .frz file extension is a confusing "wildcard" format used in three completely unrelated industries, creating significant friction for users trying to open them. The most statistically common use (approx. 54%) is as an Insurance Policy Document created by FSIG i-Sig software. These are proprietary, often encrypted files used to store sensitive policy data, making them impossible to view without the specific originating enterprise software. Users typically need to convert these to PDF or TIFF for archiving and universal viewing.

However, a large portion of users encounter .frz files as SNES Emulator Save States (approx. 23%). Created by emulators like ZSNES or Snes9x, these files are snapshots of the game's RAM at a specific moment ("frozen" state). A major friction point here is version incompatibility; a .frz save created in an older version of Snes9x often fails to load in newer builds or on mobile ports like Snes9x EX+. These files are frequently just renamed GZIP archives. Lastly, legacy users may find .frz files as Locked FormFlow Documents (now owned by Adobe), which are obsolete electronic forms that require conversion to PDF/A for compliance and access.

Convert.Guru analyzes your FRZ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted MBZ, PCV and ARQ files.
