File Extensions.org: Know Your Files
Ever come across a file with an extension you weren’t familiar with? Sure you could ask Google, but what if I told you there was another way? File Extensions.org is a massive list of file extensions with detailed information of different file types and what they’re used for.
File extensions are listed in 29 different categories including most visited file extensions, binary files, audio and music files, graphics files, settings files, unknown files extensions, etc. Users can submit file extensions that haven’t been listed on the site.
Selecting a file extension brings you to a page with specific details on the file and what types of programs use it. Information on how to open or access the file is also displayed. Conversion and backup options are provided.
Next time you see a file you’re not familiar with, you know where to go.

You should also try FileInfo.net. It has a much better interface than file-extensions.org.
