About FWB files
The .FWB file extension is shared by three entirely different applications. It is most commonly an Ichitaro word processor document developed by JustSystems, widely used in Japan. Alternatively, it serves as a Nutritional analysis database for Xyris FoodWorks utilizing a JetDB backend, or as an XML-based Firewall object database file for Firewall Builder. Users struggle with .FWB files because two out of three variants are strictly proprietary. Without an active, expensive software license, your data is completely inaccessible and useless to modern web browsers. For document sharing, you must convert Ichitaro files to standard DOCX or PDF formats. FoodWorks nutritional databases should be exported to CSV or XLSX to prevent vendor lock-in. Firewall Builder files are already XML, but often need transforming into flat text for easy review. Because the .FWB extension mostly belongs to closed, proprietary formats, standard online converters often fail to process it. Usually, only the original software can properly read or export the 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 JetDB or XML, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FWB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert FWB file to AWB, SYS, DLL, EXE, DRV, VXD, 386, COM, BAT, CMD, SCR or PIF, you can use Ichitaro or similar software from the "Application Document and Database Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MSI, EXE, REG, MST, LNK, CAB, CAT, DRV, INF, SYS, MSU or DLL files to FWB, try Ichitaro or another comparable tool in the "Application Document and Database Storage" category.
The FWB 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 FWB converter.
