File Investigator Tools

Overview of File Investigator Tools (Analysis and data recovery)

File Investigator Tools is a software application designed for file analysis and data recovery. It is developed by Forensic Innovations, Inc. and is primarily used by digital forensic investigators, IT professionals, and data recovery specialists to examine and recover data from various types of files, including damaged or corrupted ones. This tool is particularly useful in situations where you need to recover data from storage devices, analyze file formats, and uncover hidden or deleted information.

File Investigator TOOLS (FI TOOLS) includes both FI File Find and FI Directory applications, which identify more file types with higher accuracy than any other product available. Imagine searching for files by categories rather than having to specify file extensions or a few file types. You can do that now, from Windows and from the command line.
