Yes, several tools can assist. File signature analyzers (like `file` on Linux/macOS or dedicated hex editors) can reveal the file's true format, even if the extension is incorrect. Programming languages like Python with libraries like `chardet` can attempt to detect the character encoding, which might provide clues about the format. Also, online file format identification tools can sometimes help.
