What do you like best about FreeFileViewer?

Being able to open multiple documents of different file formats using one application. This uses less memory than MS Office and Adobe combined when multiple files are opened. Also, there is less clutter on the desktop with having less applications opened while working with multiple files. The application is so easy to use right from 1st day of installing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreeFileViewer?

The FreeFileViewer application is slightly slower opening files than Office or Adobe. The GUI is a little generic looking, but other than that, it's a great program. I would still recommend it to anyone that wants to save money on annual licensing fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreeFileViewer:

Try it, you will see that it is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreeFileViewer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to open, read and edit multiple file formats on the go at the same time within one application utilizing less memory. Also, It's more cost effective then having to renew the Office 365 and Adobe licenses every year. And lastly, the application is so easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreeFileViewer?

This one is truly a blessing!

How often do you get a "free" piece of software that is actually truly free, not intrusive, and fulfills exactly what it claims to do??

Well FreeFileViewer does exactly just that, nothing less, nothing more.

FreeFileViewer is a small sized program, with low resource use that simply opens and lets you view dozens of different file types.

Need to open some weird video but don't know what to use? Throw it at it.

Have to read a bunch of 300 pages PDFs but hate to use one of the many incredibly suspicious PDF viewers (Yeah I'm looking at you Adobe) that require gigantic installation file sizes and daily updates? Let FFV run it.

Need to open a bunch of pictures that aren't your typical BMP or JPG? GIve them a try.

FFV won't let you edid them. It doesn't have tons of super useful features. It's just a small package that will you view your file, just like it claims to do, and it's wonderful for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreeFileViewer?

It needs to grow, it needs to become an EPUB reader as well.

What it does, it does amazingly well but it needs to replace more useless pieces of software by being able to read even more different file sizes.

Having a small feature set is awesome, but something like "Full screen" should be a given, as it is, it won't allow me to view my files in full screen hiding the UI, that seems like such a no brainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreeFileViewer:

Just try it

It's truly free, simple to use, very low resource use, fast and it just opens most of the basic file types (PDF included) without issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreeFileViewer solving and how is that benefiting you?

FreeFileviewer lets me QUICKLY and without massive resource hogging view most of the different file sizes I use daily, without hassle, without pop up screens, without having to search for the appropiate software, without having to update it daily.

It's just the best, free, basic file viewer I've come upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreeFileViewer?

The file viewers are very useful to open documents with unknown formats, old files that we are obliged to consult from time to time and whose format no longer opens any other program, or simply because we do not want to fill our computer with dozens of programs just to open a specific type of file.

With FreeFileViewer you can open and view text documents (DOC, DOCX, PDF), spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX), photographs (JPG, PNG, PSD), videos (FLV, MP4), audios (FLAC, MP3, WMA) and less common files, such as BING, DAT or CFG. It lacks options, showing a totally clean window where you can see the file in question and, at best, the number of pages.

With FreeFileViewer application opens images, videos, documents and files of all kinds. In addition to visualizing it, you will obtain information about its technical characteristics. In some formats, you can edit the documents directly.

With FreeFileViewer up to almost 200 formats it is able to open this program and without the need to install other applications.

As the name implies, it is free and always will be

What do you like best about FreeFileViewer?

I was surprised by the large number of file formats that can read this software and best of all is that it weighs almost nothing, it is very light and the loading time is very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreeFileViewer?

I wish I could convert image files, that is, I could convert files from png to jpg. If this software manages to do that then it would be just perfect. The interface should be improved a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreeFileViewer:

I recommend this software a lot, it's totally free and once you have mastered it you can not separate from it. It's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreeFileViewer solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my work as a developer and designer helps me a lot when it comes to opening or reading many files, FreeFileViewer has prevented me from opening software separately, rather, from a single site I can read practically all types of files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreeFileViewer?

Before knowing about FreeFileViewer software, I usually had to download many different programs to perform the task that this only product is capable of doing itself. I can open over 200 types of files extension as like images (jpg, png, psd...), videos (.mpg, .mp4...), audios (.mp3...) and even .doc, .pdf extension. The software is light, easy to download and use, and it is also free. You can make a money contribution any time you want as a donation to support the developer if you like it. Great software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreeFileViewer?

I do not particularly dislike anything in this software but if I could improve something in it would be the interface. It could have a better design and show more options to perform some small tasks that are very useful as like adding a name on the image/file or some minor options to simply edit files like adding watermark and put some sort of protection in the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreeFileViewer:

If you usually work with large number of extensions, and need to save time and space in your computer, this software is the best option. The interface is clear and easy to understand and use. I downloaded it for free and started using immediately without any help or problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreeFileViewer solving and how is that benefiting you?

The software is light and easy to use and do not take many space in my computer. Before using this, I usually had 3 different types of software to perform the same task.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreeFileViewer?

It supports a large number of formats to read, from documents, images, video files, audio and other formats. It is too useful and it is very easy to use. It is too light and perhaps the most important since it is a single program that does all the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreeFileViewer?

The interface gives a lot to be desired. In appearance it looks very old-fashioned. But it fulfills everything promised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FreeFileViewer:

I recommend this software, it's totally free and you avoid headaches to install a heavy software just to be able to read a file. Just great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FreeFileViewer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since I discovered this application I have had it in the most important tools that I have when making backups and recovering documents on computers with the damaged operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
