Overview
- A reference tool for looking up the MIME type (Content-Type) that corresponds to major file extensions.
- You can search by extension (e.g. json), part of a MIME type (e.g. image/), or a category (e.g. image).
- Intended for checking the correct Content-Type header value, or validating MIME types in a file upload feature.
Usage
- Enter an extension, MIME type, or category into the search box.
- The list is filtered in real time as you type.
- Use the "Copy" button on each entry to copy the MIME type string.
Example
Input
json
Output
application/json
Use Cases
- Checking the correct Content-Type value to set in an API response header
- Building a list of allowed MIME types for a file upload feature
- Checking which category (image, audio, video, etc.) an unfamiliar file extension belongs to
FAQ
What if an extension has multiple possible MIME types?
This tool lists only one representative MIME type per extension. Some extensions (like .xml) are used with more than one MIME type in practice.
Can I search with or without a leading dot on the extension?
Yes. Both ".json" and "json" return the same result.
How do I search by category?
Enter "image", "audio", "video", "font", "text", or "application" to show only entries in that category.
Notes
- For formats without an officially standardized MIME type (such as YAML), a widely used value is listed as a practical default.
- This tool only displays a static reference table and does not perform any actual file type detection.
