An advantage to using TrID over just trying to ascertain the file type from its extension alone is that it can identify a file type even if the wrong extension is used. For instance, under Windows there are security vulnerabilities where you may receive a file with one type of extension that is actually of a type other than is normally represented by that extension.
You may think it is safe to double-click on the file to open it based on the given extension, but by doing so may compromise the security of your system, because Windows will execute code in the file based on its actual contents rather than its file extension.
If you check a suspect file with TrID first, you can determine if its actual type matches its stated type. Or, if you have a file with an unknown extension, you can use TrID to identify the file type and then locate an appropriate program to open that file type.
You can use the -v switch for additional information, -w to wait for key press after showing results and -d to specify a different definitions package. Browse to the file you want to analyze and allow TrIDNet to enlighten you!
Double-clicking on an item would show extra information about it. You can also use TrID Online. Just visit here, upload the file you want to identify, hit Analyze and wait for the results to show up. You can also run through the various file extension definitions if you just want to look up a particular file extension and what it does.
TrID is a great utility to help you identify unknown filetypes with ease. You can then search the web if you are unsure of the software you should use to open the identified file. Try Openwith for the same result. If you encounter a file type that is not or wrongly identified by TrID, you can help create definitions using TrIDScan and other TrID users will be able to benefit from your created definitions.
