Macromedia Director was multimedia-authoring software developed by Macromedia and later maintained by Adobe after its acquisition of Macromedia. An fgd file stores graphic data associated with a Director project.
The file is part of Director's collection of project and asset data. It is not necessarily a complete, independently viewable graphic, so its contents may depend on the Director project or application that created it. The format is associated with the MIME type application/x-director.
Director ran on Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS, including Mac OS X. Adobe Director is a legacy product and is no longer actively developed, so FGD files are mainly encountered in older Director projects.
Open the file with Macromedia Director or Adobe Director on Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS/Mac OS X. For the most reliable results, open it from the Director project that uses it rather than treating it as a standalone image.
Because Director is a legacy application, a compatible installed copy may be required to access older FGD files.
Macromedia Director and Adobe Director can export graphic content to other supported formats. The available export options depend on the graphic and the Director project containing it.
A standalone FGD file may not convert correctly with a general-purpose image converter. Open it in Director and export the graphic from the project when possible.

The fgd file extension is associated with Folder Guard, a security and access-control program for Microsoft Windows developed by WinAbility Software Corporation.
An fgd file contains data used by Folder Guard, including information needed to maintain the program's folder and file protection configuration. It is an internal application file rather than a general-purpose document.
The format is proprietary to Folder Guard and is intended to be managed by the Windows application.
Open an fgd file with Folder Guard on Microsoft Windows. The file is normally accessed automatically by the program rather than opened directly by the user.
Do not edit the file in a text editor, because its contents are intended for Folder Guard.
An fgd file is not intended for conversion to another file format. It contains Folder Guard's internal data.
