What is an FRA file

FRA files mostly belong to Unreal Engine. The FRA file is a text-based file used by specific software to hold important configuration and data settings. It is used mainly in the game industry to store configuration and localization text and in design programs to record animation or frame assembly data.
In one common case, the file is encoded in UTF-16 (LE) and is used as a game configuration file by engines such as Unreal Engine. This version may include data for game settings or localization text.
In another case, the file is encoded in UTF-8 and works as a frame assembly file in programs like Creo Parametric, holding the information needed for animation frame data. More details for such uses are available at PTC.
Common uses include:
  • Game configuration and localization: Stores settings and language-specific content used by game engines.
  • Frame assembly data: Contains sequential data for animated frames in design or CAD programs.
    • FilExt.com tip: A proper text editor that supports the correct encoding is needed to view and edit these files.

    How to open an FRA file

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

    3. Fractal Explorer
    4. Fractint
      Until version 14, Fractint saved images as .FRA files, which were a non-standard extension of the then-current GIF87a specification. Information after the GIF terminator (which is where the extra info was placed) has the potential to confuse some GIF viewers. It was the opinion of some GIF developers that the addition of this extra information violated the GIF87a specification which is why the default filetype .FRA was defined. This file format is classified as Graphic.
