FileForge is a fast, mobile-first editor for XML, JSON and text files, designed to bring proper desktop-style editing tools to your Android device without cluttering the editor with unnecessary distractions.
Built by EpicFailWinner, FileForge is designed for everything from quick configuration edits to huge XML and JSON files containing tens of thousands of lines.
⚡ Built for large files

XML syntax highlighting
JSON syntax highlighting

Catch mistakes while you work.

⭐ FileForge Pro
Want more advanced tools? FileForge Pro unlocks additional power-user features while keeping the core editor free.

• Recursive JSON key sorting
• XML to JSON conversion
• JSON to XML conversion
• Removes advertising outside the editor
FileForge Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription.
The core XML, JSON and text editor remains available for free.
The XML Outline makes navigating very large XML files especially easy — search for a block and jump directly to it.
📂 Multiple files at once
Open XML, JSON and text files together using FileForge's tabbed editor.
Each file keeps its own editing state, cursor position and document type.
💾 Session restore & recovery
FileForge remembers your workspace.
Open tabs, editor settings and document positions can be restored when you reopen the app.
Unsaved work is also protected with local recovery snapshots, helping prevent changes from being lost if the app closes unexpectedly.
📱 Designed for mobile
FileForge was built around phone editing rather than simply squeezing a desktop editor onto a smaller display.
Features include:
Fullscreen immersive editing
Compact mobile controls
Extra coding keys above the keyboard
Adjustable font size
Word wrap
Configurable indentation
Mobile-friendly folding and navigation
No ads inside the editor — your editing workspace stays clean and distraction-free
📁 Android file integration
Open supported files directly from Android file managers using Open with FileForge.
FileForge can also:
Save changes back to supported documents
Save As
Save a copy
Rename supported files
Detect read-only documents
Remember recently opened files
🔒 Local-first
Your documents are edited locally on your device.
FileForge does not require an account and does not upload your XML, JSON or text files to a FileForge server.
