FAQs
What is a MIME type?
A MIME type is a label, like image/png, that tells browsers and servers what kind of file they are handling so it opens or downloads correctly.
Why would I need one?
You need MIME types when configuring web servers, setting upload rules, sending email attachments or working with file downloads in code.
What if my extension is not listed?
The database covers the most common types. For rare or proprietary formats, check the vendor’s documentation or the IANA media type registry.
Can one MIME type have several extensions?
Yes — for example image/jpeg covers jpg and jpeg. Enter the MIME type to see every common extension linked to it.
