Our verdict on Quick View Plus
Quick View Plus is file-viewing software from Avantstar for businesses, legal teams, eDiscovery workflows, and computer forensics. Its Windows desktop edition opens more than 300 file formats, including office, email, database, image, archive, and markup files. It is suited to teams that need to inspect varied files without their native applications, especially when review work also requires search, metadata inspection, redaction, annotations, or document export.
The published plans show a paid structure. One license costs $99 per license per year, with an annual subscription that includes updates. Two or more licenses are available for up to 50 licenses. The product’s standout depth is its in-file review toolkit: users can search text with hit highlighting and auto-search, view metadata and hidden document content, navigate through thumbnails, add annotations and redactions, and save viewed files as PDF or TIFF. That combination makes it more than a basic preview utility for document-heavy investigations and review workflows.
Platform and ecosystem fit are central to the product. Quick View Plus supports web, Windows, and API access, while Quick View Plus Web provides browser-based HTML5 viewing through an API. Listed integrations include Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, document management systems, eDiscovery platforms, review platforms, and litigation case management applications. Choose it when broad format coverage and review controls matter more than a free entry point. Teams seeking a no-cost viewer, or a single product experience rather than separately positioned desktop and web offerings, should consider alternatives.
