FileHelper.com is developed by Sharpened Productions, the same company that has actively maintained the FileInfo.com file extensions database for over 20 years. We launched the online file viewer in 2022, and we're continually adding support for new file types.

  1. FileHelper.com uses a proprietary algorithm to analyze the file and identify the file format. The algorithm evaluates the uploaded file against a list of over 15,000 file formats. It returns the most likely file type and provides as much information as possible about the file. Even if FileHelper.com does not support the file format, it will display the file properties, metadata, and information about the file in the left sidebar.
  2. If FileHelper.com supports the identified file type, it will display the file contents in your browser window, similar to opening it in an app. Different types of files offer different controls, such as zoom, rotate, play, pause, etc.
  3. When FileHelper.com can convert the file type to other formats, it will display a "Save As..." menu at the top of the window. Simply select an output format from the list. For some file types, you can select additional options, such as image size, compression, etc.
