As its name clearly states, Attachment Icons for Gmail is a handy and bare-bones Chrome extension that makes it possible for you to know exactly what kind of attachment your Gmail emails contain without having to actually open them.

It does so by replacing the generic paper clip icon with the generic icons portraying a wide array of files. For example, it can display specific icons for some of the most popular formats out there such as XLS, DOC, ZIP, RAR, TGZ, PDF, TIFF, JPG, BMP, PNG, PPT, PHP, XML, EXE, MP3, WMA, WAW, OGG, HTML, JAVA, CSS, MPEG, AVI, MOV, as well as AutoCAD and Revit files.

If you have installed Chrome extensions before, then it should come as no surprise that deploying Attachment Icons for Gmail on your Chrome browser is hardly challenging. Just head over to the Chrome Web Store, in the Extensions category and simply click the "ADD TO CHROME" button.

Just like any other extension, once it has finished installing, it automatically integrates with your browser's user interface; you should be able to see the extension's small icon on the right side of the address bar. A quick restart of your browser might be required before the extension can start to work as intended.

Even though the extension has no side-features or menus, for that matter, there are a few things you should know. For instance, you should be aware of the fact that the icons are also visible in the email headers (right next to the date of your email). In the case of more than one attachments, only the icon of the last one will be displayed.

Thanks to its extreme simplicity, Attachment Icons for Gmail isn't what you would call a widely renowned Chrome extension. Be that as it may, this extension might prove to be extremely useful for users who often receive emails with similar or slightly different names but with various types of included attachments.
