Extract text from Greeting card projects (FSG)
To convert FSG Projects to another format, you need Greeting Card Factory or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Greeting Card Project File" file type, you need software like Greeting Card Factory or a similar tool.
The .FSG file extension primarily represents a Greeting Card Factory Project File created by Nova Development. It acts as a container storing text, clipart, photos, and layout properties for printable greeting cards. Alternatively, .FSG files are also used as vector graphics drawing files by legacy software like Serif DrawPlus, as SGML documents in Adobe FrameMaker, or as save files for the open-source strategy game FreeCol.
Sharing an .FSG file is highly impractical. Because the format is proprietary and closed-source, recipients cannot open or view the file unless they purchase and install the exact same desktop software. Furthermore, older vector editing programs like Serif DrawPlus are deprecated, making legacy .FSG files susceptible to data loss. Mobile devices and web browsers completely lack native support for this format.
The best solution is to convert the .FSG file into a standardized format. For greeting cards and vector graphics, exporting to PDF, JPG, or SVG guarantees the layout will look identical on any device. For FrameMaker documents, converting to XML or PDF is recommended.
Unfortunately, standard online converters usually fail to process .FSG files. Because the internal structure relies heavily on proprietary rendering engines, only the original software can properly read or export the layout data. However, just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format (like the Microsoft Compound File Binary Format or UTF-16 text), viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FSG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted JPG, XML, GDOC and PD files.
If you want to convert FSG file to ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, CAB, ACE, ARJ or LHA, you can use Greeting Card Factory or similar software from the "Greeting Card Project Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert XXE, 7Z, Z, PAK, LHA, DEB, UUE, TAR, LZH, ZIP, PKG or RAR files to FSG, try Greeting Card Factory or another comparable tool in the "Greeting Card Project Storage" 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 FSG converter.
