FIR is an archiver, files compresser, data encrypter and scrambler, and files converter.

FIR converts data files into ONE single graphics file or FIR archive file, with options to compress, encrypt, and scramble the data.

Supported output graphics formats are: BMP, GIF, ICO, PCX, AVI, EXE, and archive format: FIR.

Data files can be of any type, for example, DOC, SCR, EXE, PDF, MPEG, BMP, OOG, and HTM, etc.

FIR is able to simply concatenate your many small files into one big picture or archive file, as well as to implement high level data security with different kinds of protection to match your need, yet it is still easy to use with full Drag and Drop supported.

Equipped with over 100 built-in palettes, FIR is a beautifier which can create pictures of various tones and sizes to decorate your websites, desktops, or your folders.

FIR can be fun, creative, and candy of your eyes as well as serious enough to hide and protect your important data, to the extremes one may even embed an Annihilation Password to destroy the original file when need.

Your computer will be lack-lustre without a picture created with FIR!

You don't need to be a veteran user to enjoy the power of FIR.  Just download, extract, drag any files you want to convert on to FIR, and enjoy!

The graphics files FIR generates are 8-bit graphics which look like a stereo picture; they are no difference from any other graphics files which you may open them with graphics software to view; or use it as icon or to decorate your website or blog.  However you use, you may always extract the data files stored in this graphics whenever you like.

Alternatively you may archive your data files as 'FIR' archive format for storage purpose, which has the file extension '.fir'.

Here is a sample how the graphics file looks like:

The picture above, created by FIR 100, contains four files: the help files for FIR 100:  FIR_help.html and FIR_demo.gif, and the FIR_demo.gif, the lattest in turn again contains the program icon file:  fir48.ico and a readme.txt file.

Pictures created with FIR are not just pictures, they can contain any files, any messages, any information of any types within various directories, they may be a note, a message, a letter, bank account numbers, passwords, programs, pictures, or anything just for fun.  FIR makes a picture you see not just a picture you see!

Take a look at the pictures in the download page, they are the latest versions of FIR, waiting for you to unleash the fun, and the power!

There is also a standalone application: unFIR, which ONLY extracts files created by FIR.   You may send the graphics files and archives created by FIR to anyone with unFIR, so that they can extract the files easily.

Both FIR and unFIR are free!  Because, I want you to have fun, I want you protected, I want you amused, I want you to be powerful!
