What File Viewer Plus is
File Viewer Plus is a Windows application that opens, views, edits, and converts more than 400 file formats. It edits Office documents, annotates PDFs, converts PDFs to editable DOCX files, and provides syntax highlighting for more than 80 programming languages. Image tools handle more than 50 formats, including RAW, with cropping, resizing, rotation, color adjustment, and filters. The application plays more than 150 audio and video formats, opens DWG and DXF drawings, and browses ZIP, 7Z, RAR, TAR, and JAR archives. Batch conversion processes folders and reports successful, skipped, and errored files. Microsoft Store availability and command-line file opening are supported; command-line batch conversion requires Enterprise. CAD and DICOM files are view-only but can be exported to common image formats. Windows downloads require Windows 10 version 1903 or later or Windows 11, using a 64-bit installer.
