What is a(n) FZZ file?
The FZZ (Fritzing Shareable Project Format) file format is a file type that is used by Fritzing, an open source software for designing electronic hardware. FZZ files store schematic diagrams, breadboard images, and other information related to the projects created with Fritzing. This format can be used to easily share projects, collaborate with other users, and store designs for later modifications.
FZZ files can contain data in XML or human-readable text-based format. They can be exported from Fritzing in PDF or PNG image format and opened with Fritzing and other compatible programs. These types of files allow users to create designs in the Fritzing software more efficiently as they save time when sharing designs or making slight changes to existing designs.
How to open FZZ file?
There could be multiple reasons for which the system does not support given file. In the case of FZZ extension, it is probable that none of the installed programs support given file type. Therefore, user should undertake the following steps
Step 1: Install a program that supports FZZ files
If an application that supports FZZ files is installed on user’s system, but is not used to open such files by default, right-click on the file icon and choose "Open with" option from the menu. Next, select the proper application and check the "Always use the selected application to open this kind of files" box. The system will store this information in its registry and use the selected program to open files with FZZ extension by default.
Hint for Mac OS users
For Mac OS users the procedure is analogous – open the file menu by right-clicking on the FZZ file and choose "Information" option and select "Open with program" option. From the submenu select an application and click on "Change all" button.
Step 2: Find and download proper software
Inability to open FZZ files may also be related to the lack of any application that supports given file being installed on the system. Should that be the case, user needs to download and install one of the following applications. Once installed, the system will automatically associate newly installed application with FZZ files. If this step fails, see step 1.
