Detect It Easy

Question: what is Detect It Easy? Answer: it is a package identifier that can be used for free on a computer that runs Windows, OS X, or Linux. Question: what’s it good for? Answer: it’s useful for analyzing the contents of files. It can analyze and identify more than 2000 file types. That’ something that comes in handy if the file extension is missing.

Detect It Easy, as mentioned above, is available for multiple platforms: Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, Linux Ubuntu. I bring this up simply because there are a couple of things that I have to add. First up, you need to know that Detect It Easy is a portable application (you won’t have to install it). Next up, you need to know that Detect It Easy is available as a standard and as a lite version.

Load a file into Detect It Easy and the application will present information about that file on its interface. Said interface provides support for multiple languages, styles, sheets, and codecs. The interface is not resizable by default; you need to enable this settings from Options -> Appearance -> check the box next to Resizable main window.

Detect It Easy is free for personal as well as commercial use. You can use it at home and you can just as well use it at work – absolutely free.

There’s no question about it. Detect It Easy is a very handy package identifier.
