Software Store for File Tools
Some file jobs need more than a manual step. This store lists the viewers, repair tools and converters we link to from our guides, with a note on what every tool opens.
Free Mailbox and Message Viewers
Open the file first. Read the messages and check the contents before you decide to repair or convert anything.
FreeViewer PST File Viewer Tool
Opens Outlook PST data files so you can read the mailbox items.
Free EML Viewer Tool

Scans corrupt Exchange EDB files and recovers the mailbox items.

How to Choose the Right Tool
Match the Tool to the File Type
Check the extension first. Our file extension library names the format and links to a guide for it.
Work on a Copy
Copy the damaged file and use the copy. The original stays safe if a repair does not work.
Read the Price and Limits
Open the tool page and read the price, the trial limits and the system needs before you pay.
Software Store Questions Answered
Are the tools in the Software Store free?
The mailbox viewers on FreeViewer are free to use. SysTools tools have their own prices and trial limits, so read the tool page before you buy.
Does WhatIsFileExtension sell the software?
No. Every tool link opens the maker's own site, where you can read the price and download or buy the tool.
How do you choose which tools to list?
A tool earns a link when one of our guides shows a job that a manual step cannot finish, like repairing a damaged PST file.
Is it safe to use a repair tool on your only copy of a file?
Make a copy first and work on the copy. That keeps the original safe if the repair does not go the way you expect.
