What File Viewer for Android is

File Viewer for Android is a file viewer and manager that opens more than 200 file types on Android devices. It handles categories including PDFs, Office documents, eBooks, email files, audio and video, images, camera raw files and archives. Its tools can convert documents to PDF, extract archives, view and install APKs, show metadata and checksums, and display source code with syntax highlighting. The built-in explorer lets users browse, search and manage files on device storage and SD cards. FileInfo.com integration can show a file’s type, popularity, category and developer. The app opens files locally rather than sending them over the Internet for processing or rendering. It is free with ads, and an optional Pro in-app purchase offers an ad-free experience and additional features; no Pro price is listed. It requires Android 9.0 or later. The app does not support every file type, and eBooks must be non-DRM protected.
