HRZ to FTS conversion is the process of transforming image files stored in the HRZ (Horize) raster format into the FTS (FlatScan) image format. The conversion repackages pixel data, metadata, and layer/compression settings so the resulting FTS file is optimized for applications that require the FTS layout and rendering features.

HRZ files usually use the mime type application/hrz and are commonly employed in specialized data storage. FTS files have the mime type application/fts and are optimized for fast data streaming and analysis. The conversion process often involves codec adjustments to ensure seamless playback or editing compatibility.
The FTS (.FTS) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like HRZ.
While specific technical details aren't available here, FTS files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.
Easily convert your HRZ files to FTS format using our online converter designed for quick and secure file transformations. Whether you are working with HRZ or FTS files, our tool ensures a smooth conversion experience without software installation.
HRZ files typically serve as source data containers with limited application support, while FTS files offer enhanced compatibility and processing efficiency. FTS format is often preferred for downstream workflows requiring optimized file handling. Choosing FTS over HRZ can streamline your file management and ensure broader usability.
Keep individual HRZ source files under 250 MB for fastest browser-based conversion; larger files may be slower or require a desktop tool.
To preserve visual fidelity, choose a lossless FTS output or high-quality preset and retain original color depth; avoid recompressing multiple times.
For batch conversion, use a command-line or desktop converter that supports queued jobs to maintain consistent settings and metadata across files.
Note that some HRZ-specific metadata (proprietary layer effects or annotations) may not map 1:1 to FTS and could be flattened during conversion.
