Extract text from Synchronization data files (FSD)
To convert FSD data files to another format, you need Microsoft SharePoint or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Synchronization Metadata File" file type, you need software like Microsoft SharePoint or a similar tool.
An .FSD file is most commonly a File Synchronization Data file used internally by Microsoft SharePoint to manage version control and offline sync states. Alternatively, the .FSD extension is heavily fragmented and used by several niche applications. It acts as a Flowsheet Document in process simulation tools like COCO Simulator and Aspen Plus, a proprietary screen capture image format for FastStone Capture, or even a fuel injection mapping file for the Honda Fi Setting Tool.
The main disadvantage of the .FSD format is its highly specialized, proprietary nature. As a SharePoint sync cache, the file contains system metadata rather than actual readable documents. It is not meant to be opened by users. Standard text editors and web browsers cannot parse its proprietary binary or structural data. Furthermore, because the extension is shared by chemical simulators, vending machine simulators, and motorcycle tuning software, users often encounter these files without knowing which application originally created them.
Converting an .FSD file highly depends on its source. SharePoint data cannot be converted to readable documents like PDF or DOCX. However, a FastStone Capture image can be exported to standard raster formats like JPG or PNG using the original software. Flowsheet simulation files can sometimes be exported to XML data.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because standard online converters fail to process obscure system caches or fragmented proprietary formats. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FSD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PSD, VSDX, VSD, JPG, JPEG, DOCX, ASC, KRA, FWT and SRR files.
If you want to convert FSD file to INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11, OMP or P65, you can use Microsoft SharePoint or similar software from the "File Synchronization Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to FSD, try Microsoft SharePoint or another comparable tool in the "File Synchronization 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 FSD converter.
