Features

File Viewer is a free utility that provides Native, Text, Hex, and Icon views of each file.

Native View

View the native format of dozens of supported file types (see the File Types section). For example, audio and video files show playback buttons and Web files show in a Web browser view.

Native View

Text View

View the plain text appearance of the file regardless of whether the file uses text or binary formatting. This is often helpful for identifying patterns or short excerpts within the file.

Text View

Hex View

View the file as its hexadecimal representation, which can be helpful for low-level inspection of the file's contents.

Hexadecimal View

Icon View

View the various icon sizes of the file (e.g., 512x512 pixels, 256x256 pixels, 128x128 pixels, etc.).
