About
AI-powered file type detection tool that identifies file formats with 99% accuracy in milliseconds using a highly optimized deep learning model. Processes hundreds of billions of files weekly for Google services and supports 200+ content types.
Why it made the leaderboard
Google's AI file-type detector: a deep-learning model that identifies 200+ content types from bytes alone in milliseconds, at ~99% accuracy — the same detector that inspects hundreds of billions of files a week in Gmail and Drive. Use it when extensions lie.
