The FT7 file extension identifies a template format used by Adobe FreeHand 7. An FT7 file can contain reusable drawing elements and other prepared document content for creating new graphics.
Adobe FreeHand was graphics software for creating illustrations and page layouts. Adobe later stopped developing FreeHand, so the FT7 format is now obsolete and is mainly encountered in older projects and archives.
Adobe FreeHand MX for Microsoft Windows and Adobe Fireworks for Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS can be used with this file type.
On Microsoft Windows, open the file with Adobe FreeHand MX or Adobe Fireworks. On Apple macOS or Mac OS X, use Adobe Fireworks for Mac.
These are discontinued applications, so a suitable existing installation may be required.
Open the file in compatible FreeHand or Fireworks software and use that application's save or export commands to produce a supported graphics format.
Exporting preserves the artwork but may not preserve the original FreeHand template behavior or all editable elements.
