FAQ
How does it detect type?
It reads the file signature (magic bytes) rather than trusting the file extension.
Is my file uploaded?
No — only the header bytes are read locally.
Limitations
- Detects known signatures; obscure formats may be reported as unknown.
- Text formats without a signature cannot always be distinguished.
