What is a .FP8 file?

A .FP8 file is a type of file that has been made smaller using a program called FP8, which stands for Fast PAQ8. This program is used to squish files or folders so they take up less space on your computer and can be sent over the internet more quickly. When you make a file smaller like this, it's called compressing.

To make a .FP8 file, you just need to find the file or folder you want to compress and drag it onto the FP8 program icon. This action tells the FP8 program to start working on your file or folder. Once it's done, you'll find the new, smaller .FP8 file in the same place you got the original from. This new file is like a packed suitcase, with everything inside it but taking up less room.

If you want to get back the original file or folder from the .FP8 file, you do something similar. You take the .FP8 file and drag it onto the FP8 program icon again. This time, the program knows you want to open up that packed suitcase and get everything out to its original form. So, it unpacks everything, and you'll see your original file or folder appear again, right where the .FP8 file was.

In short, the FP8 program is like a magic tool that can both pack and unpack your digital stuff, making it easier to store and share.
