Infer file type and MIME type of any file/buffer

Small and dependency free Python module to infer file type and MIME type checking the magic numbers signature of a file or buffer (aka file pattern).

This is a Python port from filetype Go package.

Features:

  - Simple and friendly API.
  - Supports a wide range of file types.
  - Provides file extension and MIME type inference.
  - File discovery by extension or MIME type.
  - File discovery by kind (image, video, audio...).
  - Pluggable: add new custom type matchers.
  - Fast, even processing large files.
  - Only first 261 bytes representing the max file header is required, so you
    can just pass a list of bytes.

  - Cross-platform file recognition.

Currently, the following patterns are recognised:

  - Image: bmp, cr2, dwg, gif, heic, ico, jpg, jpx, jxr, png, psd, tif, xcf,
