File extensions let you know which software application can understand the file data and perform action correspondingly. For example you know that .avi, .wmv, .mpg can be played by Windows Media player but you may not know how to run .docx, .xlsx, .psar, .pdt , .dda , .vtx files. Do you ?
File Suffix is one easy solution to directly search and download a software for the Windows unknown file extension. For example, if you search for .mov file extension then it’ll tell you straight forward that QuickTime Player plays mov files and will provide you with the direct download link.
Advantages over Search Engines
If you Google the query "how to play .mov files" then most of the times it’ll only tell you which player is needed to play the file. Then again you have to search and download the player required.
FileSuffix does that by giving you Type, Category, Description of the extension too with the direct download link of the software. It’ll also tell you the related extensions that may be opened by the same software.
We must say it’s very useful internet utility that comes quite handy sometimes. Also, if you come across some new extension then you can submit it there too.

Interesting tip. Last time I would just google on the file extension and look for the correct file type.
