No Extension? No Problem: How to Identify Almost Any File Type
✏️ Got a mystery file with no extension or an ambiguous one? You may be able to uncover what it is by checking its signature. I’ll show you how to peek inside with a free tool and match the clues to known formats.✏️ What kind of file is that?
You can figure out a file’s type by looking at its “signature” — the first few bytes of a file, which identify it. Use a hex editor like HxD to see those bytes and then match them to a file signature list. It’s not foolproof, but it can give strong clues.
