About this MIME Type Lookup

MIME types (media types) label the format of a file or HTTP body—for example application/json or image/png. Correct types matter for Content-Type headers, downloads, and security policies.

Looking up extensions and types avoids mismatches that cause browsers to download JSON as files or block content.

How to use this tool

  1. Search by extension, name, or type string.
  2. Copy the MIME type into server configs or code.

FAQ

Is extension enough to trust a file?

No. Validate content; extensions and MIME can be spoofed.
