File Identifier

Files contain the necessary code elements to display the target content, or enable use of specific resources stored inside. An abundance of formats are available to cover everything, and there's a high chance you stumble upon an unknown type. Luckily, you can use specialized applications like File Identifier to find out more info on target formats.

In order for the application to work, you're first taken through a setup process to ensure the proper deployment on your system. Note, however, that you might stumble upon different offers bundled inside the setup package and you can end up with extra content installed on your computer which you might not necessarily want or need for the time being.

The application comes with its own database of file formats to easily provide necessary info on an abundance of formats. However, an active Internet connection is welcome, because you can visit a dedicated website for even more details at the press of a button in case the application doesn't recognize the target format.

The visual design is a bit extravagant, with colorful textures marking every field of info, background, buttons, and title bar. Even font styles used come in a custom mode, and even though aesthetics are not the main attraction here, the application does manage to create a good impression, at least through looks.

There are various fields inside the application, such as file extension, category, file type, description, operating system, file to identify, as well as extension. Your effort only narrows down to using the browse dialog to select a file, with the application automatically filling in all other details, including the description.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that File Identifier is sure to come in handy when you're cleaning your computer and find some suspicious file formats, or you simply have no idea what to use to open an item. Effort on your behalf is minimum, with all details shown on the spot.
