Download File Viewer Plus
File Viewer Plus from Sharpened Productions is a Windows program that consolidates viewing, editing, and conversion tools for more than 400 file formats. It opens office documents, PDFs, images, RAW photos, DICOM files, audio, video, archives, CAD drawings, and source code. Users can edit documents, adjust images, extract archives selectively, and convert files individually or in batches. The program also includes a file manager with thumbnail previews and a file identification engine for unknown formats.
This application removes the need to install multiple viewers for different file types. It provides a PDF converter that transforms PDFs into editable Word documents and generates PDF output from other formats. The image editor supports cropping, resizing, and color correction, including camera RAW and medical DICOM images. Multimedia files play directly inside the program. The batch converter processes large groups of files with saved presets, and the file manager allows moving, renaming, copying, and deleting files within the same window.
Sharpened Productions has maintained File Viewer Plus since 2012, with version 6 adding PDF to Word conversion and expanded file management. The software targets Windows users who handle diverse file collections and require one application for inspection, modification, and format transformation. A separate Android version, File Viewer for Android, offers comparable viewing capabilities on mobile devices and has surpassed ten million installations worldwide.
