The FZ file format is native to the Fritzing Project File, a creative development workshop for engineers and designers of electronic circuits. Developed by the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, Germany, Fritzing allows users to easily document the design processes for their electronics projects with an easy-to-use graphical interface. A single FZ file contains all the individual components of a user’s project, such as diagrams, circuit boards, pneumatic diagrams, and source codes.
Structure of the FZ File Format
The Fritzing program is heavily reliant on XML, which is used for marking up data structures in the FZ file type. This helps to accommodate for scalability of projects and designs as well as charting out changes over time. The program also employs a distinct representation system known as “Model View Controller,” which further enhances scalability. In addition, all information is stored in an “unified parts library” which can be referenced whenever needed and can link information in a way that preserves organizational hierarchy.
Compatible File Formats
The Fritzing platform can read and write to several different file formats such as PNG, JPG, SVG, and PDF. Additionally, other programs like KiCad EDA, Eagle, gEDA, and DesignSpark PCB also support files with the FZ extension. Furthermore, downstream systems such as software repositories and social media applications can recognize Fritzing’s open-source file format which allows for collaboration amongst the platform’s users.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FZ) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FZ extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FZ file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FZ extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FZ extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FZ file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FZ file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FZ file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FZ file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FZ file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
