Open the files
your device can't.
Someone sends a .heic photo, an
.avif image, a
.numbers spreadsheet — and your PC just shrugs.
Fileoholic opens the orphan formats other apps reject, right in this tab. Nothing is ever uploaded.
- Instant — no upload wait
- Files stay on your device
- Verify with F12
A real orphan file, opened in this tab — nothing uploaded. Open F12 → Network to check.
File rescue
Formats nothing else opens
Some files are fine — your device just doesn't speak their format. Drop one in and get back something every app, form, and inbox accepts.
iPhone photos Windows and older Android refuse to open.
Web images the Windows Photos app opens as a black box.
Apple spreadsheets Excel and Google Sheets won't touch.
The JPEGs Windows quietly renames so upload forms reject them.
More orphan formats land here as we build them. Got one that won't open? Tell us.
How it works
The file never leaves your machine
Most "free" converters upload your file to their servers to do the work. Fileoholic runs the conversion in your browser instead — so a payroll sheet or a private photo stays private. You don't have to take our word for it: open the Network tab and watch nothing get sent.
