Frequently Asked Questions
What is a .fh5 file?
A .fh5 file is a FH5 file.
What are the magic bytes for .fh5 files?
The magic bytes for FH5 files are 41 47 44 32 at byte offset 0. These bytes uniquely identify the file format regardless of the file extension.
How do I validate a .fh5 file?
To validate a .fh5 file, read the first bytes of the file and compare them against the known magic bytes (41 47 44 32) at offset 0. This is more reliable than checking the file extension alone, as extensions can be renamed.
What is the MIME type for .fh5 files?
The primary MIME type for .fh5 files is image/x-freehand.
Is it safe to open .fh5 files?
FH5 (.fh5) files are generally safe to open. They are classified as low risk because they primarily contain data rather than executable code. However, always ensure files come from a trusted source.
