MediaFACE is label-design software associated with Neato. It is used to create and print layouts for media labels and related products. An MFT file contains a MediaFACE template, such as the layout and design settings needed to start a project.
The template is a native, proprietary file for MediaFACE rather than a general-purpose document or image format. It is intended to work with the rest of the MediaFACE project workflow.
MediaFACE is primarily associated with Windows computers.
Open an MFT file in a compatible version of MediaFACE on Windows. Use MediaFACE's Open command and select the file, or open the file from Windows if that association has been configured.
A general document or image viewer will not interpret an MFT file correctly. If MediaFACE cannot open it, the file may require an older compatible release.
MFT is a proprietary MediaFACE template format and does not have a standard standalone conversion path. Open the file in MediaFACE and use that software's available save, export, or print options to create the desired output.
If the template is needed in another label-design format, it generally must be recreated in the target application.

FireTalk was an Internet voice and music chat program developed by Multitude. The FireTalk Web Launcher used .mft files as plugin files for its web-based launch process.
The format is specific to the discontinued FireTalk software and is not intended to be opened as a document or media file.
A .mft file is normally handled by the Multitude FireTalk Web Launcher rather than opened directly. If FireTalk is installed on an older compatible system, use the launcher or the associated web page that provided the file.
It is not a document or media file and is not normally opened independently.
There is no practical conversion method for a FireTalk Web Launcher plugin file. It is a software component rather than a document or media format.
