> Detect the file type of a file, stream, or data The file type is detected by checking the [magic number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)#Magic_numbers_in_files) of the buffer. This package is for detecting binary-based file formats, not text-based formats like `.txt`, `.csv`, `.svg`, etc. We accept contributions for commonly used modern file formats, not historical or obscure ones. Open an issue first for discussion. ## Install ```sh npm install file-type ``` **This package is an ESM package. Your project needs to be ESM too. [Read more](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c). For TypeScript + CommonJS, see [`load-esm`](https://github.com/Borewit/load-esm).** If you use it with Webpack, you need the latest Webpack version and ensure you configure it correctly for ESM. File type detection is based on binary signatures (magic numbers) and should be treated as a best-effort hint, not a guarantee. ## Usage ### Node.js Determine file type from a file: ```js import {fileTypeFromFile} from 'file-type'; console.log(await fileTypeFromFile('Unicorn.png')); //=> {ext: 'png', mime: 'image/png'} ``` Determine file type from a Uint8Array/ArrayBuffer, which may be a portion of the beginning of a file: ```js import {fileTypeFromBuffer} from 'file-type'; import {readChunk} from 'read-chunk'; const buffer = await readChunk('Unicorn.png', {length: 4100}); console.log(await fileTypeFromBuffer(buffer)); //=> {ext: 'png', mime: 'image/png'} ``` Determine file type from a stream: ```js import fs from 'node:fs'; import {fileTypeFromStream} from 'file-type'; const stream = fs.createReadStream('Unicorn.mp4'); console.log(await fileTypeFromStream(stream)); //=> {ext: 'mp4', mime: 'video/mp4'} ``` The stream method can also be used to read from a remote location: ```js import got from 'got'; import {fileTypeFromStream} from 'file-type'; const url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Example.jpg'; const stream = got.stream(url); console.log(await fileTypeFromStream(stream)); //=> {ext: 'jpg', mime: 'image/jpeg'} ``` Another stream example: ```js import stream from 'node:stream'; import fs from 'node:fs'; import crypto from 'node:crypto'; import {fileTypeStream} from 'file-type'; const read = fs.createReadStream('encrypted.enc'); const decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv(alg, key, iv); const streamWithFileType = await fileTypeStream(stream.pipeline(read, decipher)); console.log(streamWithFileType.fileType); //=> {ext: 'mov', mime: 'video/quicktime'} const write = fs.createWriteStream(`decrypted.${streamWithFileType.fileType.ext}`); streamWithFileType.pipe(write); ``` ### Browser ```js import {fileTypeFromStream} from 'file-type'; const url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Example.jpg'; const response = await fetch(url); const fileType = await fileTypeFromStream(response.body); console.log(fileType); //=> {ext: 'jpg', mime: 'image/jpeg'} ``` ## API ### fileTypeFromBuffer(buffer) Detect the file type of a `Uint8Array`, or `ArrayBuffer`. The file type is detected by checking the [magic number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)#Magic_numbers_in_files) of the buffer. If file access is available, it is recommended to use `fileTypeFromFile()` instead. Returns a `Promise` for an object with the detected file type: - `ext` - One of the [supported file types](#supported-file-types) - `mime` - The [MIME type](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type) Or `undefined` when there is no match. #### buffer Type: `Uint8Array | ArrayBuffer` A buffer representing file data. It works best if the buffer contains the entire file. It may work with a smaller portion as well. ### fileTypeFromFile(filePath) Detect the file type of a file path. This is for Node.js only. To read from a [`File`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/File), see [`fileTypeFromBlob()`](#filetypefromblobblob). The file type is detected by checking the [magic number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)#Magic_numbers_in_files) of the buffer. Returns a `Promise` for an object with the detected file type: - `ext` - One of the [supported file types](#supported-file-types) - `mime` - The [MIME type](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type) Or `undefined` when there is no match. #### filePath Type: `string` The file path to parse. ### fileTypeFromStream(stream) Detect the file type of a [web `ReadableStream`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream). If the engine is Node.js, this may also be a [Node.js `stream.Readable`](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_readable). Direct support for Node.js streams will be dropped in the future, when Node.js streams can be converted to Web streams (see [`toWeb()`](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#streamreadabletowebstreamreadable-options)). The file type is detected by checking the [magic number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)#Magic_numbers_in_files) of the buffer. Returns a `Promise` for an object with the detected file type: - `ext` - One of the [supported file types](#supported-file-types) - `mime` - The [MIME type](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type) Or `undefined` when there is no match. #### stream Type: [Web `ReadableStream`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream) or [Node.js `stream.Readable`](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_readable) A readable stream representing file data. ### fileTypeFromBlob(blob) Detect the file type of a [`Blob`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Blob), > [!TIP] > A [`File` object](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/File) is a `Blob` and can be passed in here. It will **stream** the underlying Blob. The file type is detected by checking the [magic number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)#Magic_numbers_in_files) of the blob. Returns a `Promise` for an object with the detected file type: - `ext` - One of the [supported file types](#supported-file-types) - `mime` - The [MIME type](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type) Or `undefined` when there is no match. ```js import {fileTypeFromBlob} from 'file-type'; const blob = new Blob([''], { type: 'text/plain', endings: 'native' }); console.log(await fileTypeFromBlob(blob)); //=> {ext: 'txt', mime: 'text/plain'} ``` > [!WARNING] > This method depends on [ReadableStreamBYOBReader](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStreamBYOBReader) which **requires Node.js ≥ 20** > and [may not be available in all modern browsers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStreamBYOBReader#browser_compatibility). To work around this limitation, you can use an alternative approach to read and process the `Blob` without relying on streaming: ```js import {fileTypeFromBuffer} from 'file-type'; async function readFromBlobWithoutStreaming(blob) { const buffer = await blob.arrayBuffer(); return fileTypeFromBuffer(buffer); } ``` #### blob Type: [`Blob`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob) ### fileTypeFromTokenizer(tokenizer) Detect the file type from an `ITokenizer` source. This method is used internally, but can also be used for a special "tokenizer" reader. A tokenizer propagates the internal read functions, allowing alternative transport mechanisms, to access files, to be implemented and used. Returns a `Promise` for an object with the detected file type: - `ext` - One of the [supported file types](#supported-file-types) - `mime` - The [MIME type](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type) Or `undefined` when there is no match. An example is [`@tokenizer/http`](https://github.com/Borewit/tokenizer-http), which requests data using [HTTP-range-requests](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Range_requests). A difference with a conventional stream and the [*tokenizer*](https://github.com/Borewit/strtok3#tokenizer), is that it can *ignore* (seek, fast-forward) in the stream. For example, you may only need and read the first 6 bytes, and the last 128 bytes, which may be an advantage in case reading the entire file would take longer. ```js import {makeTokenizer} from '@tokenizer/http'; import {fileTypeFromTokenizer} from 'file-type'; const audioTrackUrl = 'https://test-audio.netlify.com/Various%20Artists%20-%202009%20-%20netBloc%20Vol%2024_%20tiuqottigeloot%20%5BMP3-V2%5D/01%20-%20Diablo%20Swing%20Orchestra%20-%20Heroines.mp3'; const httpTokenizer = await makeTokenizer(audioTrackUrl); const fileType = await fileTypeFromTokenizer(httpTokenizer); console.log(fileType); //=> {ext: 'mp3', mime: 'audio/mpeg'} ``` Or use [`@tokenizer/s3`](https://github.com/Borewit/tokenizer-s3) to determine the file type of a file stored on [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3): ```js import {S3Client} from '@aws-sdk/client-s3'; import {makeChunkedTokenizerFromS3} from '@tokenizer/s3'; import {fileTypeFromTokenizer} from 'file-type'; // Initialize the S3 client // Initialize S3 client const s3 = new S3Client(); // Initialize the S3 tokenizer. const s3Tokenizer = await makeChunkedTokenizerFromS3(s3, { Bucket: 'affectlab', Key: '1min_35sec.mp4' }); // Figure out what kind of file it is. const fileType = await fileTypeFromTokenizer(s3Tokenizer); console.log(fileType); ``` Note that only the minimum amount of data required to determine the file type is read (okay, just a bit extra to prevent too many fragmented reads). #### tokenizer Type: [`ITokenizer`](https://github.com/Borewit/strtok3#tokenizer) A file source implementing the [tokenizer interface](https://github.com/Borewit/strtok3#tokenizer). ### fileTypeStream(webStream, options?) Returns a `Promise` which resolves to the original readable stream argument, but with an added `fileType` property, which is an object like the one returned from `fileTypeFromFile()`. This method can be handy to put in between a stream, but it comes with a price. Internally `stream()` builds up a buffer of `sampleSize` bytes, used as a sample, to determine the file type. The sample size impacts the file detection resolution. A smaller sample size will result in lower probability of the best file type detection. **Note:** When using Node.js, a `stream.Readable` may be provided as well. #### readableStream Type: [`stream.Readable`](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_readable) #### options Type: `object` ##### sampleSize Type: `number`\ Default: `4100` The sample size in bytes. #### Example ```js import got from 'got'; import {fileTypeStream} from 'file-type'; const url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Example.jpg'; const stream1 = got.stream(url); const stream2 = await fileTypeStream(stream1, {sampleSize: 1024}); if (stream2.fileType?.mime === 'image/jpeg') { // stream2 can be used to stream the JPEG image (from the very beginning of the stream) } ``` #### readableStream Type: [`stream.Readable`](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_readable) The input stream. ### supportedExtensions Returns a `Set` of supported file extensions. ### supportedMimeTypes Returns a `Set` of supported MIME types. ## Custom detectors Custom file type detectors are plugins designed to extend the default detection capabilities. They allow support for uncommon file types, non-binary formats, or customized detection behavior. Detectors can be added via the constructor options or by modifying `FileTypeParser#detectors` directly. Detectors provided through the constructor are executed before the default ones. Detectors can be added via the constructor options or by directly modifying `FileTypeParser#detectors`. ### Example adding a detector ```js import {FileTypeParser} from 'file-type'; import {detectXml} from '@file-type/xml'; const parser = new FileTypeParser({customDetectors: [detectXml]}); const fileType = await parser.fromFile('sample.kml'); console.log(fileType); ``` ### Available third-party file-type detectors - [@file-type/xml](https://github.com/Borewit/file-type-xml): Detects common XML file types, such as GLM, KML, MusicXML, RSS, SVG, and XHTML ### Detector execution flow If a detector returns `undefined`, the following rules apply: 1. **No Tokenizer Interaction**: If the detector does not modify the tokenizer's position, the next detector in the sequence is executed. 2. **Tokenizer Interaction**: If the detector modifies the tokenizer's position (`tokenizer.position` is advanced), no further detectors are executed. In this case, the file type remains `undefined`, as subsequent detectors cannot evaluate the content. This is an exceptional scenario, as it prevents any other detectors from determining the file type. ### Writing your own custom detector Below is an example of a custom detector array. This can be passed to the `FileTypeParser` via the `fileTypeOptions` argument. ```js import {FileTypeParser} from 'file-type'; const unicornDetector = { id: 'unicorn', // May be used to recognize the detector in the detector list async detect(tokenizer) { const unicornHeader = [85, 78, 73, 67, 79, 82, 78]; // "UNICORN" in ASCII decimal const buffer = new Uint8Array(unicornHeader.length); await tokenizer.peekBuffer(buffer, {length: unicornHeader.length, mayBeLess: true}); if (unicornHeader.every((value, index) => value === buffer[index])) { return {ext: 'unicorn', mime: 'application/unicorn'}; } return undefined; } } const buffer = new Uint8Array([85, 78, 73, 67, 79, 82, 78]); const parser = new FileTypeParser({customDetectors: [unicornDetector]}); const fileType = await parser.fromBuffer(buffer); console.log(fileType); // {ext: 'unicorn', mime: 'application/unicorn'} ``` ```ts /** @param tokenizer - The [tokenizer](https://github.com/Borewit/strtok3#tokenizer) used to read file content. @param fileType - The file type detected by standard or previous custom detectors, or `undefined` if no match is found. @returns The detected file type, or `undefined` if no match is found. */ export type Detector = (tokenizer: ITokenizer, fileType?: FileTypeResult) => Promise; ``` ## Abort signal Some async operations can be aborted by passing an [`AbortSignal`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortSignal) to the `FileTypeParser` constructor. ```js import {FileTypeParser} from 'file-type'; const abortController = new AbortController() const parser = new FileTypeParser({abortSignal: abortController.signal}); const promise = parser.fromStream(blob.stream()); abortController.abort(); // Abort file-type reading from the Blob stream. ``` ## Supported file types -
