What is FH8 file?
The FH8 (FreeHand 8 Drawing File) is a vector-based, two-dimensional computer graphics format. It is used to create illustrations and technical diagrams and is native to the Macromedia FreeHand vector graphics software. FH8 files are created using FreeHand version 8 software, and can be opened and edited in versions 10, 11, and MX of the software, although no new features – such as text manipulation or transparent fills – will be added to the FH8 document.

The file format is capable of storing simple single objects to complex composite graphics with layers, all in a single container. [ ⏩ ] FH9 file extension
How to convert the file from FH8 to FH9?
To successfully convert the FH8 file to FH9, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.FH8). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case FH9 (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than FH9).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. FH8 to FH9. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting FH8 files to FH9 files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension FH9, while before this step we had the FH8 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new FH9 file, or not.
