I spent hours this morning because Outlook stopped opening .MSG files for me. This app opened my .MSG files embedded in my Word documents. Thanks!
After I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11, I was not able to read my old .MSG messages anymore. But with File Viewer Plus, I was able to open them easily. Thanks.
File Viewer Plus is great. I often need to view documents from online that come in uncommon formats, and this viewer can always open them.
A powerful, but easy-to-use, file viewing program. File Viewer Plus is a great program that allows you to view the contents of files, including JSON files. It's also extremely intuitive and easy for even beginners to use. 5/5.
A Swiss army knife for obscure media files. I have yet to find a file I cannot open and play with File Viewer Plus.
Best file-viewing program. I have some old files that, no matter what I was told to do to view, nothing worked. I'm so happy I added this to my computer to open the files. Thank you! I was getting stressed.
File Viewer Plus is a great product. I use it to convert HEIC images I receive from Apple iPhone users to JPEG format.
File Viewer Plus solved my problem! Someone sent me an AVIF file, and I tried every way I could think of to open it. None of my typical ways worked. This program did the trick!
File Viewer Plus is perfect. It opens 4K files from my Canon EOS R5 C in MXF format.
Just what I needed. It's a wonderful addition to my computer. You knew what you were doing in programming such a useful tool. Thank you!
A fantastic time saver. I receive file types in multiple formats. This app is the best for saving time because it opens and converts so many formats.
This is awesome. It's like the Swiss Army knife for documents. Wow. I am impressed. GOOD JOB! OUTSTANDING! Deserves 6+ stars.
