AI-Generated Content Notice
Parts of this website's content, in particular file type guides and blog articles, were created or edited using AI systems. Content is editorially reviewed but may contain errors. Please verify important information against other sources when needed. For a concrete checklist of what “editorial review” includes on extension pages, see Editorial review methodology below.
Editorial review methodology
When an extension page shows “Reviewed by …”, that refers to a human editorial pass focused on reader safety and practical accuracy. It is not malware analysis, legal advice, or vendor certification.
- Format fit: whether the “what is this file?” description matches common real-world use of the extension, including category, typical MIME types, and aliases.
- Opening paths: whether Windows / macOS / Linux steps read plausibly for current OS dialogs and default apps; we remove fantasy menus and unsafe shortcuts.
- Security framing: whether risk notes match the extension class (for example executables vs plain data) and whether affiliate wording does not contradict the security section.
- Sources and further reading: whether external links point to vendors, standards bodies, or other primary references where possible; we avoid inventing details we cannot ground.
- Limits: this is clarity and safety-messaging QA, not a guarantee that every statement is exhaustive or that every binary you download is harmless.
