Opening an FR3 File
The FR3 file type is primarily associated with FastReport.
What is an FR3 file
This file is the output of FastReport software and is used to define the structure and content of a report.
- Purpose: It saves report definitions that the FastReport engine uses to generate printed or digital reports.
- Functionality: It manages elements such as text, images, and charts in a structured XML format.
Though the content is in XML, only FastReport software can fully interpret the specific schema. For more details, you can visit the official page at Fast Reports.
FilExt.com note: If you plan to view or edit the file, the official FastReport Designer is the best tool because it maintains the proper structure required by the software.
