In their own words
ViewAnyFile.app
ViewAnyFile.app is a browser-based viewer and converter for documents, spreadsheets, images, 3D models, CAD files, audio, video, code and databases. Its FAQ lists more than 200 supported formats and more than 40 conversion pairs. The product is described as a progressive web app for phones, tablets and desktops, with browser installation and offline support. Most processing happens in the browser, and client-side conversions have no limits. Legacy DOC, PPT and XLS conversions briefly use a server; server-side document conversions have a 25 MB limit. Client-side files are discarded when the tab closes, while server-processed files are purged within 60 seconds. The FAQ lists Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave and Opera, and recommends Chrome or Edge for formats that rely heavily on WebAssembly. The free core includes viewing, batch processing and client-side conversion without signup. A Pro plan is described as available soon at $9.99 a month. The service is not a certified HIPAA Business Associate.
