Description

What's This File Type? tells you what a file is, and what program created it. All you have to do is right-click on the file, and select 'Bloody Hell! What's this File Type?' (other text available if you're sensitive).
<p>If you have a file extension and you have no idea which application it is for, try this search. If we list the software itself we'll show it too.</p>
<p>Enter the file extension to find, with or without a leading period. e.g .doc, .fll, .rpp, .xml etc.</p>
<form action="http://www.downloadpipe.com/fileext.html" method="POST">
<p><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> <input maxlength="255" name="extdetail" size="17" type="text" /><input class="btn" name="extsearch" type="submit" value="File extension search" /></span></p>
</form>
<p>If more than one application matches, we'll show you a list.</p>
Some further general hints...
<ul>
<li><strong>If the extension has a number in it</strong> (e.g., .S25) and no entry comes up for that try again using the number "1" or "01" (e.g., .S01). Often such files are part of a series and only the lowest five or ten entries in the series will be in the database. </li>
<li><strong>If the extension is all numbers</strong> and no entry comes up try again with .000. Again, often such files are part of a series. </li>
<li><strong>If the extension ends with an underscore</strong> (_) and no entry comes up for the particular extension it's likely that the file is part of an install set and is a compressed version of a file with the same first two characters (e.g., an .EXE file in a compressed install set becomes .EX_). </li>
