README
filetype
Small and dependency free Go package to infer file and MIME type checking the magic numbers signature.
For SVG file type checking, see go-is-svg package. Python port: filetype.py.
Features
- Supports a wide range of file types
- Provides file extension and proper MIME type
- File discovery by extension or MIME type
- File discovery by class (image, video, audio...)
- Provides a bunch of helpers and file matching shortcuts
- Pluggable: add custom new types and matchers
- Simple and semantic API
- Blazing fast, even processing large files
- Only first 262 bytes representing the max file header is required, so you can just pass a slice
- Dependency free (just Go code, no C compilation needed)
- Cross-platform file recognition
Installation
go get github.com/h2non/filetype
API
See Godoc reference.

Examples
Simple file type checking
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"github.com/h2non/filetype"
)
func main() {
buf, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("sample.jpg")
kind, _ := filetype.Match(buf)
if kind == filetype.Unknown {
fmt.Println("Unknown file type")
return
}
fmt.Printf("File type: %s. MIME: %s\n", kind.Extension, kind.MIME.Value)
}
Check type class
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"github.com/h2non/filetype"
)
func main() {
buf, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("sample.jpg")
if filetype.IsImage(buf) {
fmt.Println("File is an image")
} else {
fmt.Println("Not an image")
}
}
Supported type
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/h2non/filetype"
)
func main() {
// Check if file is supported by extension
if filetype.IsSupported("jpg") {
fmt.Println("Extension supported")
} else {
fmt.Println("Extension not supported")
}
// Check if file is supported by extension
if filetype.IsMIMESupported("image/jpeg") {
fmt.Println("MIME type supported")
} else {
fmt.Println("MIME type not supported")
}
}
File header
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"github.com/h2non/filetype"
)
func main() {
// Open a file descriptor
file, _ := os.Open("movie.mp4")
// We only have to pass the file header = first 261 bytes
head := make([]byte, 261)
file.Read(head)
if filetype.IsImage(head) {
fmt.Println("File is an image")
} else {
fmt.Println("Not an image")
}
}
Add additional file type matchers
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/h2non/filetype"
)
var fooType = filetype.NewType("foo", "foo/foo")
func fooMatcher(buf []byte) bool {
return len(buf) > 1 && buf[0] == 0x01 && buf[1] == 0x02
}
func main() {
// Register the new matcher and its type
filetype.AddMatcher(fooType, fooMatcher)
// Check if the new type is supported by extension
if filetype.IsSupported("foo") {
fmt.Println("New supported type: foo")
}
// Check if the new type is supported by MIME
if filetype.IsMIMESupported("foo/foo") {
fmt.Println("New supported MIME type: foo/foo")
}
// Try to match the file
fooFile := []byte{0x01, 0x02}
kind, _ := filetype.Match(fooFile)
if kind == filetype.Unknown {
fmt.Println("Unknown file type")
} else {
fmt.Printf("File type matched: %s\n", kind.Extension)
}
}
