A single viewer to open many file types

Universal Viewer is a handy tool that lets you view a myriad of different file types all from one convenient location.

Having different types of files on your computer generally used to mean needing a separate viewer for each of them. That's not necessarily the case any longer. Programs like Universal Explorer help make viewing different files types easier, and so too does Universal Viewer.

Universal Viewer is an easy tool that enables you to open and view many kinds of files. These include text documents, MP3 music, image files and various internet documents. This simplifies the process of file viewing quite substantially. It can even handle text files that are over 4 GB in size, which is not something that other text editors are capable of. It is also available in a portable version for users who are constantly on the go.

Unfortunately, when it comes to working further with them, you may miss some more advanced tools. Universal Viewer doesn't let you alter PDF documents, for example.

Despite this, Universal Viewer is an efficient multi-format file viewer that many users will no doubt file incredibly useful.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
