Advanced File Recovery scans the PC for the following file types and allows previewing them. However, if you face any problem previewing the file type, it might be because the file is corrupted or too big to preview. Photos, text files, documents, and archives of more than 50 MB are not shown, while audio and video files of more than 500 MB cannot be previewed. Therefore to view such files, we recommend saving the file and opening it in the default viewer.
