About FTA files
The .FTA extension is primarily associated with Food Composition Tables and nutrient databases used by specialized dietetic software like BeBiS, Nutritionist Pro, and FAO/INFOODS datasets. These files act as structured repositories for nutritional values - storing data on calories, vitamins, macros, and minerals for thousands of food items. A significant practical issue is that these databases are often stored in proprietary binary or legacy text structures designed for specific backend systems, making them unreadable to standard text editors or spreadsheet software. Users typically encounter these files when trying to migrate data between nutrition platforms or analyze legacy dietary datasets. Because .FTA files are not natively supported by web browsers or Microsoft Excel, the most effective workflow is converting them into open, manipulatable formats. For data analysis and migration, converting to CSV or XLSX is essential to unlock the raw numbers. For archiving or sharing fixed reports, PDF is the preferred target.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FTA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert FTA file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Nutritionist Pro or similar software from the "Food Nutrient Database" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to FTA, try Nutritionist Pro or another comparable tool in the "Food Nutrient Database" category.
The FTA Converter Story
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 FTA converter.
