1. Using the site and tools

Format Odyssey is independently operated by an individual and provides file-format reference pages, sample files, comparisons, and browser-local utilities.

Use the site only for lawful purposes and only with files or information you are entitled to inspect or use.

2. Your responsibility

You are responsible for checking information and tool results before relying on them. Keep original or backup copies of important files and use appropriate software for important workflows.

Do not abuse, disrupt, overload, probe, or attempt to bypass the site’s security or usage controls.

3. Information and tool limitations

Format guides are source-backed where practical, but information can be incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for a particular application or version.

File Analyzer inspects limited local evidence such as supported headers and hints. A detection result is not complete file validation, a malware scan, or a guarantee that a file is safe, intact, or compatible.

Sample files and comparisons cover only the specific examples and reviewed facts shown on their pages.

4. Third-party links

The site links to standards, software vendors, documentation, and other third-party resources. Format Odyssey does not control their availability, content, or practices.

5. Availability, changes, and contact

The site and tools are provided as available and may change, be limited, or be removed. To the extent permitted by law, no guarantee is made that the service or its information will always be accurate, complete, uninterrupted, or suitable for a particular purpose.

These terms may be updated as the site changes. Questions can be sent to support@formatodyssey.com.
