What is an FR3 file

FR3 files mostly belong to FastReport. The FR3 file is a report file created by Fast Reports. It uses an XML structure to store the report layout and settings, including data bindings and design elements.
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.

How can I open an FR3 file?

You need a suitable software like FastReport to open an FR3 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.
