File Viewer Plus
Universal Windows utility for opening, editing, and converting hundreds of file types
Updated August 11, 2026
File Viewer Plus Overview
File Viewer Plus is a Windows application for opening, editing, converting, and managing many document, image, media, archive, and data formats from one place. It can also identify some files when the extension is missing or unclear.
Built-in viewing and conversion tools make it useful when a computer receives files from many different applications. Batch conversion and basic editing reduce the need to switch between utilities, although specialist creative or engineering work may still require the original authoring software.

Pros
| Compared with | Why this product may fit better |
|---|---|
| FreeFileViewer | File Viewer Plus can edit or convert many of the files it opens. FreeFileViewer is useful for basic access, while File Viewer Plus is better when the result must be saved in another format. |
| File Viewer for Android | Desktop batch conversion and deeper document tools give File Viewer Plus more room for production work. File Viewer for Android is convenient on a phone, but it cannot replace that workflow. |
| IrfanView | Documents, archives and media extend File Viewer Plus well beyond images. IrfanView is faster for image viewing, yet it cannot cover the same mixed office inbox by itself. |
Cons
| Compared with | Where this product may fall short |
|---|---|
| FreeFileViewer | FreeFileViewer costs nothing for its supported viewing tasks. File Viewer Plus charges per user, so paying for editing and conversion is wasteful if staff only need to inspect files. |
| File Viewer for Android | File Viewer for Android works where files often arrive first: an Android phone or tablet. File Viewer Plus is Windows-only and does not follow a mobile worker into the field. |
| IrfanView | IrfanView is small, fast and free for non-commercial use. File Viewer Plus takes a broader approach, which makes it heavier when images are the only files that matter. |
Reviews
- Software Advice reviews: Software Advice lists 4.4/5 from 174 reviews. Users like opening uncommon formats and saving them in easier-to-share forms; complaints include unsupported proprietary files and uneven performance on some conversions.
- G2 reviews: G2 lists 4.6/5 from 14 reviews. The small sample values one application for many file types and the built-in folder browser, but it is too small to prove that every claimed format works equally well.
- Experts Exchange review: This editorial review found the app faster than Word for simple writing, liked its image positioning and noted the FileInfo connection for identifying unfamiliar extensions. It covers an older major version, so its interface details should not be treated as a current-version guarantee.
