MIME Type Lookup

Search 2,522 media types by extension, MIME type or category, inspect aliases and copy a Content-Type example locally.

mime-typesLOCAL WORKSPACE

Enabling local controls…

Search locally as you type. Exact extensions come first; at most 200 rows are shown. Shared links contain the query; recipients choose a category.

An extension does not verify file bytes. Servers still need correct Content-Type and file validation. This table does not inspect or upload files. A text header's UTF-8 example must match the actual encoding.

How to use this tool

Enter an extension or media type, narrow the category and select a row for a header. Share the query explicitly when needed. The pinned mime-db 1.54.0 snapshot was checked on 2026-10-21.

When not to use it

An extension does not prove file contents are safe or match the declared type. Verify the actual response and encoding.
