Description

File content types can be identified quickly from their actual data rather than only file extensions. It is useful for developers, analysts, and users sorting unknown files or validating upload pipelines.

AI-based detection can still be wrong on unusual or adversarial files. Treat results as strong hints, not proof, especially for security decisions or automated trust policies.
