xRapid Disk Explorer

Explore disks, memory cards, USB drives and disk images safely, without changing a single byte.

Open any disk or image and see every partition at a glance — FAT32, ext4, Linux swap, HFS+ and APFS — with size and start sector.

xRapid Disk Explorer 1.1 from xRapid Media LLP lets you browse folders, preview files, see deleted entries, inspect raw sectors, export files and create disk images.

Screenshots

Browse inside a Linux ext4 partition straight from Windows and preview photos before you save them.

Tick several files and see full details (path, size, permissions, block fragments), then export them all in one click.
