How to convert fh9 to jpeg file

The easiest way to convert .fh9 files (and any other FreeHand drawing format) to standard image formats, such as .jpg/.jpeg or .png, is to use the Adobe Illustrator software. Not only is this the most reliable way of converting .fh9 to .jpeg, it is possibly the most convenient one, too.

Users can import old FreeHand drawings (such as .fh9) directly into Adobe Illustrator and save them as .ai drawings by using a script from Adobe (available for download). This method seems to be working only for CS4/CS5 versions of Illustrator. It doesn't work for the latest CC - Creative Cloud edition.

Understanding FH9 and JPEG file formats

FH9 is a file format associated with Adobe FreeHand, a vector graphics editor that was widely used for creating illustrations, logos, and other graphic designs. The FH9 format is specific to FreeHand version 9 and contains vector-based graphics data.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a commonly used raster image format known for its lossy compression, which reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality. JPEG is widely used for digital photos and web graphics.

Why convert FH9 to JPEG?

Converting FH9 files to JPEG can be beneficial for sharing and displaying images on the web or in applications that do not support vector formats. JPEG files are more universally compatible and easier to view on various devices.

Best software for converting FH9 to JPEG

One of the best software options for converting FH9 files to JPEG is Adobe Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator can open FH9 files and export them to JPEG format. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Open the FH9 file in Adobe Illustrator.
  • Go to File → Export.
  • Select JPEG as the export format.
  • Choose your desired settings and click Export.

Another option is to use CorelDRAW, which also supports opening FH9 files and exporting them to JPEG.

Online converters
