Frequently asked questions
What is a MIME type?
A MIME (media) type, like text/html or image/png, tells software what kind of data a file contains. Servers send it in the Content-Type header so browsers know how to handle the response.
Can I search by extension or by type?
Both. Look up the MIME type for a file extension, or search by type to find which extensions use it — useful when configuring a server or validating uploads.
Why does the correct Content-Type matter?
The wrong type can cause a browser to download a file instead of displaying it, break a script or image, or trigger security protections. Serving the correct MIME type avoids these issues.
