What is a .FBM file?

The .FBM file extension stands for Fuzzy Bitmap Image. It is a type of graphic file that was created using a toolkit called Fuzzy Pixmap Manipulation (FBM). This toolkit was designed for changing and converting images in various ways. Nowadays, the .FBM format is not very common, but there are still some ways to view these images if you come across them.

To open a .FBM file, you can use a few different programs. One of the options is XnView, which is a versatile image viewer that supports a wide range of file formats, including .FBM. Other programs that can open .FBM files include xli and Newera Graphics Converter Pro. XnViewMP is another version of XnView that also supports .FBM files, offering more features and capabilities.

If you are working with ship design software, you have additional options for opening .FBM files. DELFTship, a software developed at Delft University of Technology, allows you to import .FBM files. You can do this by going to the File menu and selecting Import. Similarly, FREE!ship, another ship design program, lets you open .FBM files by choosing Open from the File menu.

In summary, even though .FBM files are not as commonly used today, there are still several programs available that can open them, including image viewers like XnView and XnViewMP, as well as specialized software like DELFTship and FREE!ship.
