plist files are property list files that store various types of data, such as preferences, settings, and metadata. They are commonly used by macOS and iOS applications, but they can also be found on Windows systems. For example, some iTunes backup files are plist files that contain information about your device and backup data.
If you need to edit plist files on Windows, you may find it difficult to find a suitable editor that can handle both XML and binary formats of plist files. Fortunately, there is a tool called plist Editor Pro that can help you to read and edit both XML and binary plist files on Windows easily.
plist Editor Pro is a program developed by VOWSoft, Ltd. that allows you to read and edit both XML and binary plist files on Windows.

plist Editor Pro supports Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11 and costs $34.95 for a single license. You can download a free trial version from their official website[^1^] or from other software download sites.
To use plist Editor Pro, you need to install it on your Windows system first. After installation, you can launch it from the Start menu or the desktop shortcut. You will see the main window of plist Editor Pro as shown below:

To open a plist file, you can click on the File menu and select Open, or use the Ctrl+O keyboard shortcut. You can also drag and drop a plist file into the main window. You will see the contents of the plist file in either XML-text mode or property-list mode, depending on your preference.
In XML-text mode, you can see the raw text of the plist file with syntax highlighting. You can edit the text directly in this mode, but you need to be careful not to make any syntax errors. You can also use the Find and Replace functions to search for specific text or values in the plist file.

In property-list mode, you can see the structure and hierarchy of the plist file in a tree view. You can expand or collapse each node by clicking on the plus or minus sign next to it. You can also edit the property name, type, and value of each node by double-clicking on it or using the right-click menu. You can also add, delete, copy, paste, or move nodes by using the toolbar buttons or the right-click menu.

After editing a plist file, you can save it by clicking on the File menu and selecting Save or Save As, or using the Ctrl+S or Ctrl+Shift+S keyboard shortcuts. You can also export a plist file to other formats, such as JSON or YAML, by clicking on the File menu and selecting Export.
