These terms cover your use of File-Extension.info, including the reference articles and the file tools. By using the site you agree to them. They are meant to be fair and readable, so please have a look.
Informational use
The site is a reference resource about file formats and extensions. We put real effort into checking format details, but the content is provided for general information and may contain errors or become outdated. Do not treat it as professional advice, and verify anything important before you act on it, especially before deleting, editing, or converting files you care about.
The tools, provided as is
The file identifier, image converter, and other utilities are offered free of charge, as is, without any warranty. We do not guarantee that a tool will correctly identify every file, convert every format, or be available at all times. Keep your own backups before running any file through them. You use the tools at your own discretion.
Intellectual property
The articles, layout, and original text on this site are our copyright unless stated otherwise. You are welcome to read and reference the material, and to quote a reasonable amount with credit, but please do not copy large sections or republish the content wholesale without permission. File format names, company names, and product trademarks mentioned on the site belong to their respective owners and are used only to describe the formats.
Acceptable use
Use the site for its intended purpose. Do not try to break, overload, or gain unauthorised access to it, scrape it in a way that disrupts service, or use it to do anything unlawful. Automated bulk access that strains the servers is not permitted.
External links
Some pages link to other websites, for example to download an application that opens a given format. Those sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for their content, safety, or availability. A link is not an endorsement, and you should apply your own judgement before downloading anything from a third party.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or the tools, including lost or corrupted data. The site is free, and you accept that it comes with no guarantees. If you rely on it, do so knowing the limits described here.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms as the site evolves. The current version always lives on this page, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the update.
