FileInfo: Get File Info For Unknown File Extention


I have seen some of my friends having difficulty in opening a file with unknown extension. For most of them it’s a virus, for some of them it is alien, but we know that it’s just some file extension which they haven’t seen before. Even if you know what the file is about, it’s still difficult for you to figure out which application will open it. If you’re lucky enough you can open it with applications like Open Freely which is capable of opening almost any file types itself (A very handy all-in-one application). If you don’t have applications like open freely then you can check this tutorial out: How To Open Unknown File Extensions. If you are still confused then you can visit FileInfo. FileInfo is a web service that lets you search for details regarding a file extension. It has a database of thousands of file types and detailed information for each of them. With the detailed information FileInfo also provides a list of programs which are capable of opening the particular file extension in all the operating systems including Windows, Mac OS X, Ubuntu, Mint, and all Linux operating systems.
