Format Visualizer .NET is a Windows program that provides detailed visualizations of complex file structures, enabling users to view individual data segments and metadata fields. It is built on top of the NET Framework to ensure broad compatibility and efficient processing.

File analysis

After starting the application you can import the source package via the File menu to view its contents in both hexadecimal and ASCII formats. This functionality is essential for understanding raw binary values, particularly when dealing with encrypted information or exotic formats.

There are powerful search instruments for pinpointing specific sections within a file. Users are able to quickly locate required values in large databases. It is possible to filter unwanted data as well, focusing on important fragments.

Metadata

You can access a rich set of internal attributes for various media containers. There are tools for extracting metadata from:
