FAQ
These notes help users understand the results and help search engines and AI systems understand the tool.
Is my input saved?
Local tools run in the browser when possible. Server-side checks only use the input needed to complete the lookup.
What does a signature-extension mismatch mean?
It may be a naming mistake or a disguised file. Before sharing, uploading, or opening it, review the source, extension meaning, and security tools instead of trusting the suffix alone.
Is file signature viewing antivirus scanning?
No. It is a basic file header/type check and does not detect, quarantine, or repair malware.
Why does an upload say the file format is invalid?
Common causes are mismatched extension, MIME, file header, or platform allow-list rules. Check the real type first, then re-export, rename, or convert the file as required.
