File Juicer is a drag & drop can opener and data archaeologist. Its specialty is to find and extract images, video, audio or text from files which are hard to open in other ways.

It finds and extracts: JPEG, JP2, PNG, GIF, PDF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PICT, TIFF, Flash, Zip, HTML, WAV, AVI, MOV, MP4, MPG, MP3, AIFF, AU, WMV or text from files which contain data in those formats.

Lossless extraction... File Juicer does't convert the images/sounds/videos it finds, but saves them unchanged in their original format if possible. See the manual for details.

What's New

Great app. But I wish the developer would add the following file types to the list of those that File Juicer can find and extract: Matroska (.mkv), .m2ts, .mts, FLAC, APE, ALAC, WAV (grudgingly), .m4p, .m4a, .m4v, .vob and .mpeg.

Otherwise, this is a lovely little utility.

I don't believe those file types are embedded inside other file types on a regular basis, like JPEG files are in PowerPoint or PDF files. Perhaps you are looking for a video conversion utility?
Finder is good at searching for files with a certain extension if this is what you need.

This application is outstanding. Solid performance, reliable, quick - a great deal for the price.
I have this app running all the time, use it daily. I get a lot of stuff extracted quick-like and keep moving with production. Saves me a lot of time.
Excellent.

Too bad that this app does not support the extraction of CCITT Group 4 compressed images from PDF files.

(CCITT T.6 aka Group 4 compression is a very space efficient lossless compression algorithm which was originally developed for facsimile transmission of black-and-white images over telephone lines and data networks. It is optimized for documents with black letters on white background, where it typically yields output files which are multiple orders of magnitude smaller than the results of any other image compression algorithm. So CCITT Group 4 is still the best choice when storing scanned bi-level images in a TIFF or PDF file.)

I tried this on a PDF file I received, however, something didn't work correctly because I received a bunch of question marks instead of the text I was trying to extract. The file I used has confidential info so I am not at liberty to send it for problem analysis. This is the end of the trial for me. I do not expect a reply as I don't see how the problem can be addressed w/o being able to look at the specific PDF file. I just wanted to mention this and thank the developer for having a trial version so I could find out without having to pay and then ask for a refund. Thank you!!!

Emails are welcome - and answer email every day. If the PDF returns only question marks, it may because it is a scanned PDF which does not contain text, but photos of text. You need an optical character recognition application to handle that. I explain that in detail on my web site so you may have a different problem.

Kind regards,
Henrik - Developer of File Juicer

Extracting text from PDF is a science in and of itself… even if it's really text and not image data, as the dev said, you might still get garbage out…

I can't tell you how many times this app has saved my hide! It is perfect: simple to use, fast, and gives me exactly what I want. It has helped me with old files that no longer have a program but from which I need the text or graphics.

I highly recommend File Juicer!

This is not a new version. It has the exact size and creation date as the previous release of it 4 or 5 months ago.

That is NOT what I see. Version 4.27 that I just downloaded from the official website has a different size than version 4.27 that I downloaded in April 2011.

July 2011 Version -- 2,615,889 bytes
April 2011 Version - 2,588,784 bytes)

I wish the developer used a NEW version number.

It is too confusing.

I can see you are measuring the size of the DMG which can be different for a number of reasons unrelated to File Juicer itself.

If you mount the DMG I suspect you will find, as I did, that File Juicer's size is exactly the same - 9,520,292 bytes (10.3 MB on disk) - on both the previous release and this "new" posting to MacUpdate.

I have not released a new version, but verified that this version works on Lion and checked the appropriate checkbox on my listing. The size of the disk image is changed as it is made on Lion.

For details see the "read me".

I have tried a number of version of this program and my comments are..

It used to create file name as foo.jpg, now they are all cachennn.jpg

This is annoying when you want to merge downloaded directories.

No red button close app, you have to go to the program to shut it down.

keeps a list of recent items in the plist file in ~Library, what purpose, who knows?

The list of recent files is for forensics use. See the manual under forensics.
P.S. I check my email more often than web forums :-)

Awesome stuff. Recovered literally all of my friend's photos from her cell phone's internal storage when she accidentally lost them all.

From the message which comes up when File Jucier starts up:
File Jucier is shareware and you can try it's full functionality for 30 days (it has been 14). There will be watermarks in some images before you register.

Kind regards,

File Juicer is a drag & drop can opener and data archaeologist. Its specialty is to find and extract images, video, audio or text from files which are hard to open in other ways.

It finds and extracts: JPEG, JP2, PNG, GIF, PDF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PICT, TIFF, Flash, Zip, HTML, WAV, AVI, MOV, MP4, MPG, MP3, AIFF, AU, WMV or text from files which contain data in those formats.

Lossless extraction... File Juicer does't convert the images/sounds/videos it finds, but saves them unchanged in their original format if possible. See the manual for details.

This is useful:
  • if you want to extract the images/sounds/videos from a PDF or Word document
  • if you have old files you can no longer open with current applications,
  • if you receive emails with attachments you can not open,
  • if you have corrupt files or databases,
  • if you have damaged or acidentally erased flash cards for your digital camera,
  • if you receive "self extracting" EXE files designed for Windows,
  • or if this is just faster than copying and pasting from the file.
When you have extracted some files - for instance from an accidentally erased flash card, you can then check that they are intact with QuickTime Player or convert them with other applications. For images, checking validity is done by letting File Juicer generate icons for the files. Then the files with icons are the ones which are intact.

File Juicer has Automator support so you can save just the settings you need and use them directly from Finder.
