Files with the FZ extension are Fritzing Project Format files. The open-source Fritzing program and file format were developed for designing electronic circuits. FZ files contain shareable Fritzing projects with layouts, parts used, and notes.
There are 158 different file types with the FZ extension on various operating systems. However, the main use is for Fritzing Project Format files. Fritzing is used by Arduino and PCB enthusiasts to design PCB layouts.
FZ files can be viewed three ways in Fritzing: breadboard view, schematic view, and PCB view. The breadboard view shows the circuit as it would look in real life. The schematic view shows the circuit diagram. The PCB view allows users to design and export files to produce physical circuit boards.
To open an FZ file ensure Fritzing is installed. After launching Fritzing, go to “File” then “Open” and navigate to the FZ file. Fritzing should support all file formats compatible with older versions. If you still cannot access FZ files, updating Fritzing may help implement support for more modern formats.
FZ files are project files related to the free Fritzing software. Fritzing supports designers, artists and hobbyists working on interactive electronics projects.
