Everyday we come across different files in our e-mail or on the net that cannot be handled by software already available on our computers. Most of the time, this is due to the fact that they have a file extension which is not supported by any software installed. In this situation, most people think of going to a search engine and trying to find a software that can run the file. But, a search engine may not be able to find right software that supports your operating system or can find a software that is potentially unsafe to work with. In such situations, finding the right information and reliable software supporting the file extension becomes important.

Fileinfo.net is a site offering complete, detailed and most accurate information about file extensions. Presented in neat and simple manner, FileInfo covers all the file extensions that exist and its database is expanding with new file extensions as they arrive. FileInfo is fast-loading and easily navigable and lists details about the associated file types. Each entry contains information about the file format, a description of the file, how frequently the particular file extension appears and the program or programs that can open the file. Programs for opening the files are listed for Macintosh, Windows, and Linux platforms. If you don't find a program that can run a file extension or if you do not wish to download one or have another software that runs similar file extensions, you can convert a file extension to another using an online file extension converter.

File extensions are classified in two ways - in alphabetical order and by file type. You can also find file extensions using the search facility also. There is a link to common file extensions in the top-left corner which lists some of the most common file extensions we ought to know about. A really simple idea but very helpful website!
