HexBrowser - The quick way to identify files

HexBrowser is a tool that identifies file types. It does not care about the file extension, but opens each file to look for signatures so it can determine the exact type of a file. It now recognizes more than 650 different file formats.

HexBrowser shows detailed information about each file, or a hex- or text dump of the beginning of each file (for the sake of speed).

Here are some of the file formats that it recognizes:

• Audio: real, wav, mp3, decaudio, adlib, sunraster, adif, midi, avr, au, vqf, alp, esps.
