What is a CFF file

CFF files mostly belong to SpellForce by THQ Nordic. A CFF file contains three-dimensional die cutting designs and product packaging created with CAD programs like Modelmaker. A different CFF file contains a font saved in Compact Font Format and used by Creative Cloud design products. A CFF font is essentially a PostScript Type 1 font that is losslessly compressed using Type 2 chartstrings. ENVI geospatial image analysis software saves calibration factors in a file with CFF filename extension. Data used by SpellForce video game is saved in a CFF file (usually named gamedata.cff). Byster XXL fiber laser cutters manufactured by Bystronics use cutting instructions saved in a CFF file.

How can I open a CFF file?

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

CFF file extension format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our evaluation of the CFF files looks like this:

The CFF file type is used by many programs, each with its own file format. The file formats most commonly found in CFF files are:

15% of all CFF files belong to Compact Font Format. They consist of unreadable binary data. The average file size is 2 KB with most files being between 720 bytes and 30 KB in size. This file type is new and state-of-the-art. The files contain the following words: All rights reserved, Copyright and FSType. Files like these are sometimes connected to font, regular and sans.
15% of all CFF files have the same signature CF. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The files are 5 KB to 1 MB in size, with a median of 660 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. DATE, FINGERPRINT, LANGUAGE:ORIGINAL and CFF-TRANSLATOR-VERSION:02.01.03.

All other CFF files (70%) have different formats, often e.g. ZIP, CalMANv, MAIN and pBXXX. Sometimes used for game, data, citation, sapiens, backup, large or homo. If you want to find out what your CFF file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
