Opening FAC Files
The FAC file type is primarily associated with Razer Synapse.
What is a FAC file
FAC files are used by various companies to store internal configuration and design data. They are not one standard format; each use case defines its own structure.
Here are some examples of how these files are used:
- Razer Audio Preset: Contains audio effect configuration settings used by Razer devices. Open these with Razer Synapse and see more details on the Razer Synapse webpage.
- Face Theme/Composite File: Stores face data that can be used in games such as NBA 2K8, and in facial composite applications like FaceGen.
- Knitting Machine Pattern: Holds computer-aided design patterns for sewing and knitting machines. For further information, visit the Lonati website.
- Formulaction Analyser File: Used in specific analyser applications. More details are available on the Formulaction webpage.
FilExt.com notes: This file format is generally proprietary and is often saved in a binary form. You should use the designated software to open, view, or edit these files. Identifying the origin of your FAC file will help determine the correct application to use.
How to open FAC files
You need a suitable software like Razer Synapse to open a FAC 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 FAC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FAC file directly in the browser:.

FAC file extension format:
To view or edit FAC files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the FAC files looks like this:
The FAC file type includes different formats for different programs. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 25% of all FAC files start with the bytes F4 09 18 55, which are crucial for this file format. They consist of unreadable binary data. The file size is in the range of 59 KB to 11 MB. The file type is relatively new. The files contain the following words: GROUPBMPOFF, GROUPBMPON, MAXIDLE, MAXOVER, SEARCHBMPDOWN, SEARCHBMPOFF, MINIDLE, [2008], FACEBMP0, FACEBMP1, FACEBMP2, FACEBMP3, FACEBMP4, FACEBMP5, FACEBMP6 and FACEBMP7. 2k8black.fac is a typical file name.
- 15% of all FAC files start with the bytes 00 00 01 00, which are crucial for this file format. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. Most of these files are 12 KB to 12 KB in size. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as rFACEFace. An example of a file name is TD_CS_1.fac. Such files are related to face.
