Extension MIME type Description

What is a MIME type?

A MIME type (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, also called media type or content type) tells the browser what kind of file it is dealing with. Format is type/subtype — examples: text/html, application/json, image/png. Servers send MIME types in the Content-Type response header. This tool searches a database of 600+ official IANA-registered types plus widely-used unofficial ones.

Common uses

  • Server configuration — set the right Content-Type for static files.
  • File upload validation — accept only specific MIME types.
  • API debugging — verify endpoints return the correct content type.
