File Analyzer is a free utility application for PC from developer Bitberry Software. It is a file management tool that helps users identify unknown files and provides them with possible software that they can use to open and use them. It can recognize a wide selection of formats and types, and boasts a simple and easy-to-use interface.

Identify unknown files

To get started with the File Analyzer tool, you just need to drag and drop the specific file you’re having problems with. After that, you just need to wait for it to do its scan and analysis, and present you with its findings. It is able to recognize over 10,000 different file types and formats, so it can pretty much identify anything.

After the analysis is completed, you will then be provided with a brief summary about the file, what it’s used for, and it will suggest the type of program you can use to open and view it. The actual experience of using it has been less than ideal, though. It would sometimes be flagged as malicious software by anti-virus programs, and it can occasionally struggle to identify even the most common of file types.

Handy but inconsistent

To sum up, File Analyzer is a handy tool to have around if you encounter a file you’re not familiar with and need help identifying it. It’s easy to use and offers helpful insights and possible solutions to your problem. That said, it can be rather inconsistent at times and gets flagged as malicious, which is a bit disconcerting.
