“A single viewer to open many file types”

Having different types of files in your computers means needing a separate viewer for each of them... well, not necessarily. That is, if you have Universal Viewer installed on your system.

This easy tool enables you to open and visualize many kinds of files, from text documents to MP3 music, as well as image files and Internet documents. This is very useful for just viewing files, but when it comes to working further with them you may miss some more advanced tools.

In spite of this, Universal Viewer is an efficient viewer and can handle text files over 4 GB, something that not all text editors are capable of.
