Extract text from FSD files
To convert your FSD file to another format, you need Microsoft SharePoint or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Synchronization Data File" file type, you need software like Microsoft SharePoint or a similar tool.
The .FSD file extension represents a diverse group of formats, most commonly serving as a File Synchronization Data file generated by Microsoft SharePoint. These files act as a local cache, storing metadata and changes made to documents while working offline or syncing with a server. Because they are proprietary binary system files, they are not designed to be opened manually by users; attempting to do so in a text editor typically reveals illegible code. This proprietary lock-in is a key problem for users trying to recover data or debug synchronization errors.
Alternatively, an .FSD file may be a structured document created by FS Pro (from Information Mapping), a specialized add-in for Microsoft Word. While powerful for technical writing, these files require the specific paid software suite to be edited correctly, limiting accessibility for collaborators who do not own the license. Users often need to convert these documents to standard DOCX or PDF formats for archiving and universal sharing. Other less common uses include screen capture projects from FastStone Capture or flowsheets from the COCO Simulator. To resolve accessibility issues, the recommended workflow is converting document-based FSD files to PDF for printing or DOCX for editing, while image-based FSD files should be converted to PNG or JPG for web compatibility.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FSD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 FSD converter.
