WinfrGUI – Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|

| ✓ Supports common image, media, office, PDF, and archive formats, including JPEG, MP3, MP4, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, ZIP, and RAR. | ✗ Quick Scan preserves directory structure and file names only under the NTFS file system, while Deep Scan is needed when that information has been lost. |
