CHECK FILE TYPE BASED ON


CONTENTS OF THE FILE

Have you ever found a file on your computer without an


extension or has an incorrect extension?
[Link] helps you determine the true file
type of any file based on the content of the file, not the
extension. Simply use our online tool to upload the file
and we will test it and show you the results.

CheckFileType does not require an e-mail or


registration. The purpose of this site is to provide a
quick tool to help you determine the file extension for
an unrecognized or unknown filetype.

What is a file type?


Every file has a particular format. Files are either binary
or ascii. Common ascii files would be simple text or
more complicated formatted text such as PDF or XML.
Common binary files are images (jpeg, gif, png) or
compressed files. But the file formats can be layered,
such as DOCX or PPTX. These are a collection of ascii
XML files in a zip archive which makes it a binary file.
In some cases such as zip files this tool may search
the contents of the archive to give you the file type of
each file contained in the archive.
