Supported file formats

Last published : Jun 07, 2026
If you are using Arctera™ Classification to extract the content the extraction engine will classify only the file formats that are part of the list given below. Arctera™ Classification has also provided the configurable field to exclude the MIME types from the supported list. It means that the user can exclude certain file formats from classification even if the file format is included in the list below.
If the source file is not within the supported type list UNSUPPORTED_FILE_FORMAT error will appear.
