What is a FAP file?

FAP files mostly belong to esptool.py. FAP files are used in different contexts. Most commonly, they carry ESP32 firmware in an ELF binary format, often referred to as a Flipper Zero application file. You can manage these with tools like esptool.py.
Other instances serve as game save files for Faust games, sometimes called Faust Adventure Player files, which store game progress. A small group is used with Formaker software, holding form and appearance data for document files.
Key points compiled by FilExt.com:

Firmware images use the ELF format for embedded devices.

Game save files record user progress in Faust games.

Formaker files preserve document layout and form data.

FilExt.com note: If you have a FAP file, first check its header or use a hex editor to see if it’s a firmware image, game save, or document file. Then use the corresponding tool to view or edit it.

How to open FAP files

You need a suitable software like esptool.py to open a FAP 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 FAP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FAP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

How to solve problems with FAP files

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