What is an F90 file?

F90 files mostly belong to gfortran. The file with extension F90 is a Fortran 90 source code file. It is stored as plain text and holds programming instructions used in numerical and scientific computing.
You can open these files with any text editor. They are processed with a Fortran compiler such as gfortran, which translates the code into an executable program.
Key details compiled by FilExt.com include:
  • Free-form syntax: Unlike older Fortran formats, Fortran 90 supports code that is not restricted by fixed columns.
  • Modularity: It features modules and structured procedures for better code organization.
  • Numerical precision: It is designed to handle complex arithmetic and array operations for scientific applications.
  • FilExt.com note: This file type is central for developers involved in scientific modeling and high-performance computing.

    How do you open F90 files?

    You need a suitable software like gfortran to open an F90 file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your F90 file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a F90 file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

    If you want to extract texts from F90 file or capture a screenshot, you can use our free Online F90 File Viewer:
    1. Just click the "Choose your .f90 file to view" button on this page.
    2. After your file is opened in browser,
    3. click "Save as..." in the menu.
    4. Then choose the file format (e.g. JPG, PDF, DOCX, TXT, ...) you want.
    5. Your file will be converted and downloaded.

    Programs that open and convert F90 files:

    1. gfortran
      See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. F90 files are often referred to as gfortran developers because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
    2. FORTRAN Program

    F90 file extension format:

    Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below you will find our evaluation of the F90 files:

    The F90 file extension is quite common and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. But the following two file formats are common:

    All other F90 files (70%) have no consistent format, often e.g. PROGRAM, subroutine, MODULE and implicit. Files like these are sometimes linked to assignment, program, gauss, function, shooting or matrix.

    How to solve problems with F90 files

    • Associate the F90 file extension with the correct application.
    • Update your software that should actually open source code files. Because only the current version supports the latest F90 file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available gfortran update.
    • To make sure that your F90 file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
